Nerve stimulation in children during EEG monitoring
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if gentle nerve stimulation through the ear can help diagnose or treat seizures in children. It is for children who are already in the hospital for an EEG to monitor brain activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your child does not have a history of slow heart rate (bradycardia)
- Your child does not have congenital heart disease

This trial tests a non-invasive ear stimulation device (taVNS) as an extra treatment for sepsis in the ICU. It may help reduce inflammation and improve recovery.
This trial tests if a gentle, non-invasive nerve stimulation (using a device placed on the neck) can improve hand and movement function in adolescents with spastic cerebral palsy. It aims to find new ways to help with rehabilitation.
This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve (a nerve in the neck) can help people regain consciousness after a severe traumatic brain injury. It is for patients who are in a coma or minimally conscious state, and the treatment is given along with standard ICU care.
This study uses a small device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the ear (through the vagus nerve) before surgery. The goal is to see if it helps children wake up more calmly and reduces confusion or agitation after a tonsil or adenoid removal.
This study tests a gentle ear stimulation device that may affect heart rate and blood pressure. It aims to see if this stimulation has beneficial effects for healthy people.
This trial tests a gentle electrical ear stimulation device (taVNS) to see if it helps people recover after a recent brain bleed. It is for adults who had a specific type of bleed within the last 3 days and are generally stable otherwise.
