Ear nerve stimulation for heart and stress health
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests how stimulating a nerve in the ear affects heart rate and stress responses. It may help researchers understand ways to improve heart and nervous system health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 30 years old
- You consider yourself healthy
- You do not have heart, brain, metabolic, or mental health conditions
- You are not taking any medications that affect heart rate or blood pressure
- You are a non-smoker
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 29.9

This study tests how long a gentle ear stimulation affects heart rate variability, which is a measure of how your heart responds to stress. It may help understand the body's nervous system better.
This study tests a small device that stimulates a nerve in your ear (not invasive, no needles) for different lengths of time to see how it affects your body. It is for healthy adults and does not involve any drug or surgery.
This trial tests how different electric stimulation settings on the ear (via a small device) affect healthy adults' nervous system functions. It's a research study, not a treatment, to help understand optimal stimulation parameters for future therapies.
This study tests if a gentle electrical stimulation on the ear can improve thinking and memory in healthy young adults. It also looks at whether men and women respond differently.
This study tests how reliably a small ear-stimulation device measures heart-rhythm patterns. Researchers want to see if the device gives consistent readings across multiple measurement sessions, which could help doctors monitor heart health in the future.
This study tests if a gentle nerve stimulation device placed on the ear can change how you breathe during a lung function test. It is only for healthy volunteers aged 18–40 who have no heart, lung, nerve, or mental health conditions.
