Nerve stimulation and breathing test study in healthy adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial tests a safe, noninvasive way to stimulate a nerve in your ear (the vagus nerve) to see how it affects your heart and blood vessels. Eligible volunteers must be healthy adults between 18 and 45, not taking heart or mood medications.
This trial tests how mild electrical stimulation of a nerve in your ear affects your heart rate and other body functions. It is for healthy young adults who do not smoke or take medications that affect the heart.
This study tests whether gentle stimulation near the ear (vagus nerve) can affect heart rate or other body functions in healthy adults aged 40–70. If you qualify, you'd help researchers learn how this might reduce symptoms like dizziness or rapid heart rate.
This study tests a non-invasive stimulation technique applied to your ear to see how different recording lengths affect your heart rate patterns. Researchers want to understand how this stimulation influences your nervous system in healthy adults.
This study tests a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in your ear to see how it affects your body's nervous system. Researchers will compare different treatment durations in healthy volunteers to understand the best approach.
