Comparing ear stimulation frequencies in healthy adults
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a healthy adult between 18 and 40 years old
- No chronic health problems (like heart, lung, or metabolic diseases)
- No active infections or skin issues on your ear
- You can attend all study visits
- No pacemaker or other implanted electronic devices

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 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 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 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.
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 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.
