Ear zaps during heart attack may shield the heart from damage
Disease control CompletedThis trial investigates whether gentle electrical stimulation of the ear (specifically the vagus nerve area) during emergency heart attack treatment can reduce heart muscle damage and improve recovery. Researchers are enrolling 110 adults having their first major heart attack who…

Nerve block may cut opioid needs after epilepsy device surgery
Symptom relief CompletedThis trial tests whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block (intermediate cervical plexus block) using bupivacaine can reduce pain and the need for opioid painkillers after vagus nerve stimulator implantation. Adults with drug-resistant epilepsy scheduled for this surgery are rando…

Ear zaps may reveal how well your vagus nerve works
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study tests whether a mild electrical pulse delivered to the ear (transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation) can reliably alter heart rate variability, a measure of nervous system balance. Researchers will compare active stimulation to a sham (fake) stimulation in 140 healthy a…
