Ear zaps offer new hope for kids in sickle cell pain crisis

NCT ID NCT07090668

Summary

This study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive device that stimulates nerves in the ear can help reduce pain in children hospitalized for sickle cell disease pain crises. Researchers want to see if this approach is practical and acceptable for kids, and if it shows early signs of reducing pain and inflammation. The goal is to find a safe alternative to strong pain medications like opioids.
