Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Acute Burn Injury Recovery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–65 years old
- Second- or third-degree burns covering 5–30% of your body surface area
- Hospitalized within the first 72 hours of the burn injury
- Stable vital signs and general health condition suitable for treatment
- Able to read, understand, and speak Turkish
- No severe burns on your face or neck that would prevent device placement on your ear

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 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.
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 whether a gentle electrical pulse on the ear can help patients recover from severe brain or spinal cord conditions in the NeuroICU. It may improve healing by activating the vagus nerve.
This trial tests a device that uses gentle stimulation on your ear to help your brain recover movement and feeling after a stroke. It is for people who had their first ischemic stroke within the last two weeks.
This trial tests whether stimulating your vagus nerve (a major nerve in your neck) using a small electrical device can help improve movement and function after a spinal cord injury. You would wear a device on your ear during rehabilitation to see if it speeds up your recovery.
