This trial tests whether a gentle electrical device placed on your ear (called transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation) can help prevent or reduce headaches that sometimes happen after a procedure to treat an unruptured brain aneurysm. If you're scheduled for stent-assisted coiling or flow diverter treatment, this study may offer a non-drug option to manage post-surgery pain.
This trial tests a treatment using gentle electrical stimulation on the ear to see if it helps people who have both functional dyspepsia (stomach discomfort) and trouble sleeping. It aims to improve both symptoms and understand how the treatment works.
This study tests if a small device worn on the arm can stop migraines before they start. It is for young people who can spot warning signs that a headache is coming within 6 hours.
This study tests whether a device that stimulates the ear (through the skin) can reduce chronic pain and help people lower their opioid pain medicine. It may help you manage pain with less opioid use if you meet their safety and medication criteria.
This trial studies a migraine device (the ShiraTronics Migraine Therapy System) to help people with frequent migraine headaches. It may be a good option if you’ve tried common migraine preventions but they didn’t work for you, weren’t safe, or you couldn’t take them.
