Ear patch offers new hope for Kids' brain injury recovery

NCT ID NCT05343988

Summary

This study tested a small, non-drug device placed on the ear to help children (ages 2-17) who have severe symptoms after a major brain injury. These symptoms, called Paroxysmal Sympathetic Hyperactivity (PSH), include dangerous spikes in heart rate, blood pressure, and sweating. The goal was to see if this electrical stimulation device could safely reduce these distressing episodes and lessen the need for heavy sedating medications.
