Ear stimulation device shows promise for Ehlers-Danlos relief
NCT ID NCT06105541
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a small, at-home device that stimulates a nerve in the ear can improve symptoms like pain, fatigue, sleep, and mood in people with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS). Twenty-five adults with hEDS used the device daily for two weeks, with some receiving a sham (inactive) version first. The goal was to see if this gentle, non-invasive approach could offer a new way to manage multiple symptoms at once.
