Nerve stimulation study for calmness in young adults
This study tests a gentle nerve stimulation method to help young adults feel calmer and more relaxed. It might help if your nervous system tends to be on high alert.

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.
This trial tests if combining mindfulness-based meditation with a gentle nerve stimulation device (applied to the ear) can help people aged 50–85 with chronic low back pain and depression. The goal is to reduce pain and improve mood without changing your current medications.
This trial tests if a gentle nerve stimulation (taVNS) can change how people feel fear in everyday situations. It may help understand new ways to manage fear and anxiety.
This study tests whether a gentle nerve stimulation device (tVNS) placed on your ear can help reduce symptoms of anhedonia (loss of pleasure) and anxiety. You will also have brain scans (MRI) to see how the treatment affects your brain.
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 early safety study tests whether stimulating a nerve (taVNS) combined with psilocybin can change emotional well-being. It also checks safety issues like heart rhythms, lab results, and whether fMRI brain scans are possible.
