Nerve stimulation for quality of life during ovarian cancer treatment
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if a gentle nerve stimulation device on the ear can improve quality of life for people with ovarian cancer who are starting their first chemotherapy. It may help manage symptoms like fatigue or feeling sick.

This trial tests a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in your ear to help prevent nausea caused by chemotherapy. It is for people with breast cancer who are about to start a specific type of chemo (anthracycline and cyclophosphamide).
This trial tests whether stimulating a nerve through the ear (non-surgical, through the skin) can reduce chronic pelvic pain from endometriosis. It may help if standard care hasn’t fully controlled symptoms like painful periods or pain during sex.
This trial tests adding a simple ear-point stimulation to standard anti-nausea medicine for women receiving chemotherapy after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to see if this combination works better to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by the chemo drugs docetaxel and cyclophosphamide.
This trial tests a small device you wear on your ear to see if it can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy (CIPN). You use it yourself at home, and it may help with the tingling, numbness, or burning in your hands and feet.
This trial tests whether stimulating specific points on your ear, combined with a steroid medication, can reduce nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy drugs (docetaxel and cyclophosphamide) given after breast cancer surgery. Many patients experience these side effects, and the study wants to see if this non-drug approach helps.
This trial tests whether stimulating specific points on your ear combined with a steroid medication can reduce nausea and vomiting caused by trastuzumab deruxtecan, a breast cancer drug. The goal is to help you feel better during treatment.
