Scientists probe Ear's power to ease pain without drugs

NCT ID NCT05490134

Summary

This study aims to understand how a gentle electrical stimulation to the ear can reduce pain. Researchers are testing if this method works by triggering the body's own natural pain-relieving chemicals, called endogenous opioids. They will test this in 136 healthy volunteers by comparing pain relief from the stimulation when a drug that blocks opioids is given versus a placebo.
