Zapping the ear to tune insulin? early study probes nerve link
NCT ID NCT06597149
Summary
This study is testing if a gentle electrical stimulation behind the ear can affect insulin and blood sugar levels in healthy people. Researchers are studying 30 volunteers to see if stimulating a specific nerve (the vagus nerve) through the skin changes these levels. The goal is to gather basic knowledge about how this nerve works, which could inform future research into treatments for conditions like diabetes or stomach problems.
