Ear nerve stimulation for recent brain bleed
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a gentle electrical ear stimulation device (taVNS) to see if it helps people recover after a recent brain bleed. It is for adults who had a specific type of bleed within the last 3 days and are generally stable otherwise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a spontaneous brain bleed (not from an injury or tumor) in the upper part of the brain.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- The bleed happened within the last 72 hours.
- The size of the blood clot is between 5 and 40 mL.
- You are conscious enough to score above 8 on the eye-opening and movement test (GCS).
- You do not have certain heart, lung, kidney, or nerve conditions that could interfere.

This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation through the ear (called auricular VNS) can help people recover after a bleed in the upper part of the brain. It aims to reduce inflammation and improve outcomes when started within 48 hours.
This trial tests a gentle ear stimulation device that may help people regain consciousness after surgery for a brain bleed. It is done while the person is in the hospital and may improve recovery.
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 studies whether stimulating a nerve near the ear (auricular VNS) can help after a spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage, a type of bleeding around the brain. If you qualify, you may receive the ear stimulation as an added treatment while doctors monitor your recovery.
This trial tests whether a gentle nerve stimulation device (tVNS) applied to the ear is safe and practical for patients recovering from a specific type of brain bleed. It aims to see if this non-invasive treatment might help recovery after the aneurysm is repaired.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical pulse on the ear can help patients recover from severe brain or spinal cord conditions in the NeuroICU. It may improve healing by activating the vagus nerve.
