NCT ID NCT07055373

First seen May 19, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study tests a safe, non-invasive treatment called transauricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) for people with chronic whiplash. It uses mild electrical pulses through the ear to calm the nervous system and may reduce pain, disability, and stress. The trial will enroll 40 adults with whiplash symptoms lasting 3 months to 10 years to see if the treatment is safe, practical, and worth studying further.
