Electrical stimulation for chronic nausea and vomiting
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses to your stomach to help with chronic nausea and vomiting. It is for people who have had nausea for over 6 months, have normal stomach emptying, and have not found relief from standard medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new way to program an implanted device (Enterra®) to better treat severe nausea and vomiting caused by gastroparesis. If you have frequent nausea and vomiting despite other treatments, this study might help find a better setting for your device.
This study looks at how the brain and stomach communicate in people with chronic nausea. It uses a noninvasive brain stimulation method called TMS to understand brain activity. You may qualify if you have chronic nausea or are a healthy volunteer.
This study tests whether a small device that gently stimulates a nerve in your ear can help reduce nausea. Researchers will enroll healthy adults to see if this non-drug approach is safe and effective.
This study tests whether a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the stomach, already implanted for at least 8 weeks, can reduce daily stomach pain in people with gastroparesis. It may help if you have had chronic stomach pain for more than 2 months.
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation applied to the ear (called percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation) can help reduce nausea and vomiting and improve nervous system function in people with diabetes and gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying). If you have had gastroparesis for at least a year, this might be a non-drug option to help control your symptoms.
This study tests whether a gentle nerve stimulation device placed on the ear can reduce vomiting episodes in children with cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS). It aims to find a safe, non-drug option for managing symptoms.
