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 study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation of a nerve in your ear can change how you feel pain from a capsaicin (chili pepper) patch on your leg. It may help researchers understand how to treat pain without drugs.
This trial uses a mild stimulation device on the ear to try to reduce nerve pain after a spinal cord injury. It aims to see if this non-drug approach can help people with chronic nerve pain.
This study is testing a device that stimulates a nerve in the ear (called the vagus nerve) using a gentle electrical pulse. It might help with certain conditions by affecting the brain and body, but the specific condition it aims to treat is not listed here.
This study tests a device that stimulates a nerve in your ear (called taVNS) to see if it can help reduce fibromyalgia pain. You use the device at home twice a day for 4 weeks.
