Nerve stimulation device for lupus pain
Part of Immune system & allergy, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive nerve stimulation device worn on the ear can help reduce pain and inflammation in people with lupus. It may be an option if you have moderate to severe muscle or joint pain and are not on certain medications that were recently started.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
