Ear Stimulation With Neck Injection for Pinched Nerves
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests combining a gentle electrical stimulation applied to your ear with a standard neck injection procedure to treat pinched nerves in the cervical spine (neck). The ear stimulation may help reduce pain and improve recovery.

This study compares two non-surgical treatments for pain radiating from your neck into your arm and hand: one using electrical stimulation on your skin, and another using magnetic pulses on your scalp. The goal is to reduce pain and improve how well your arm functions.
This study tests whether gentle vibration applied to the neck can help relieve pain, numbness, or tingling caused by a pinched nerve in the neck. It's for people with moderate to severe neck pain or arm pain who haven't had neck surgery.
This trial tests a gentle, non-invasive treatment that stimulates a nerve in your ear to help reduce pain caused by spinal cord injury. The device is placed on the outside of your ear and may help manage neuropathic pain (pain from nerve damage) without surgery.
This study looks at whether the timing of a gentle ear nerve stimulation treatment, combined with exercise, can help reduce chronic neck pain. It aims to see if this combined approach can improve pain and function better than other approaches.
This trial tests a non-surgical treatment that stimulates a nerve in your ear while you do rehabilitation exercises to reduce chronic back pain. It may help if you've had pain for more than 6 months and pain medications aren't working well enough.
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive nerve stimulation on the ear combined with arm and hand therapy to see if it can improve movement and function for people with neck-level spinal cord injury who still have some hand ability.
