Zap the ear, calm the mind? new trial tests simple device to ease surgery side effects
NCT ID NCT07476742
Summary
This study is testing if a gentle, non-invasive stimulation of a nerve in the ear during heart surgery can help prevent post-surgery confusion (delirium) and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. About 270 patients having planned heart surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the real stimulation or a fake (sham) version. Researchers will then track their mental state, mood, and recovery in the week after surgery to see if the treatment helps.
