Earpiece zaps nerves to lighten heavy periods
NCT ID NCT07326722
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a wearable earpiece that gently stimulates nerves around the ear to see if it can reduce heavy menstrual bleeding. Eighty women and teens aged 14-45 will use the device for two hours each day during their periods for three cycles. Half will get real stimulation, half a sham, and all will track blood loss and symptoms remotely.

- Sparrow Link device (transcutaneous auricular neurostimulation)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a drug-free, non-invasive option to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding and improve quality of life.
