Ear Nerve Stimulation for Muscle and Joint Pain in Cerebral Palsy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a device that gently stimulates a nerve in your ear to reduce chronic muscle and joint pain caused by cerebral palsy. The treatment is non-invasive and may help reduce your reliance on pain medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have had muscle or joint pain for at least 1 year
- Your pain is moderate or severe (at least 4 out of 10 on a pain scale)
- Your pain medications have stayed the same dose for at least 6 weeks

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 tests whether gentle nerve stimulation on your ear can reduce both inflammation and depression after a spinal cord injury. It might help people with mild to moderate depression who are already on a stable depression medicine.
This trial tests whether adding a gentle, non-invasive nerve stimulation (like a small electrical pulse on your ear) to standard rehabilitation can help reduce pain and improve function in people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) affecting the hand. It aims to see if this extra treatment offers more relief than rehabilitation alone.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation of a nerve in the ear can reduce pain and inflammation in people with psoriatic arthritis. If you have moderate to high disease activity despite stable treatment, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive way to stimulate the vagus nerve using a gentle device on the ear. The goal is to see if it can help improve social and communication symptoms in children and young adults with autism.
This study tests a gentle nerve stimulation device worn near your ear to see if it can reduce fibromyalgia pain and improve how your body handles stress. It is a non-invasive treatment option that you receive while continuing your regular medications.
