Ear nerve stimulation for heart health in healthy people
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle ear stimulation device that may affect heart rate and blood pressure. It aims to see if this stimulation has beneficial effects for healthy people.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old
- You are generally healthy with no major medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or depression
- Your blood pressure is normal (not high)
- You are a non-smoker or light smoker (5 or fewer cigarettes per day)
- You are not taking regular heart, blood pressure, or psychiatric medications

This study tests whether a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in the ear can affect health. It is for healthy adults who are not taking medications (except birth control) and can avoid eating and exercise for 12 hours before two of the visits.
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 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.
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 trial tests a non-invasive device that sends gentle electrical pulses to a nerve in your ear (vagus nerve) to see if it improves heart function in people with chronic heart failure. If you have heart failure with a reduced pumping ability, you may be able to join.
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.
