Nerve stimulation study for new mothers' mental health
Part of Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle nerve stimulation device (tVNS) worn on the ear can help new mothers feel better emotionally after childbirth. It is for women whose babies had normal organ scans and who do not have certain medical conditions or current mood disorders.
