Nerve Stimulation to Help Burn Injury Recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of a nerve in your ear can help reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and ease pain or itching after a burn injury heals. You would wear a small device on your ear for several weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18–65 years old
- Your burn injury happened 1–12 months ago and you've finished the urgent treatment phase
- Your burn covered 5–30% of your body and was second or third-degree
- You experience at least one symptom: anxiety, poor sleep, pain, or itching
- You can read and speak Turkish
- You don't have certain ear conditions, skull implants, or heart/lung diseases that would make the device unsafe

This study tests a non-invasive device placed on the ear that stimulates the vagus nerve (a major nerve that affects stress and healing) to help adolescents recovering from burns feel less anxious, sleep better, and experience less pain and itching. The device is worn on the outside of the ear and may help your body heal.
This study tests a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in your ear to help reduce pain and stress during burn wound dressing changes. The device is applied to the outer ear and may help your body manage pain naturally without extra medication.
This trial tests a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve (a major nerve in your body) through your ear to help reduce inflammation and pain after severe burns. The goal is to see if this can speed healing and improve recovery in patients with moderate to severe burn injuries.
This study tests a gentle ear stimulation device that activates a nerve when you move your arm or leg, to see if it helps your recovery after a stroke or brain/spinal cord injury. If you still have some weakness, this could be a way to boost your rehabilitation.
This trial uses a mild stimulation device on the ear to try to reduce nerve pain after a spinal cord injury. It aims to see if this non-drug approach can help people with chronic nerve pain.
This study tests a gentle device that stimulates a nerve in the ear to see if it helps patients in the neuroscience intensive care unit recover from serious brain or spinal cord conditions. It might reduce complications and improve recovery.
