Ear zaps tested to fight Kids' kidney disease relapses
NCT ID NCT05588063
First seen Apr 23, 2026 · Last updated Apr 23, 2026
Summary
This small pilot study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive nerve stimulation device worn on the ear can help children with a frequently relapsing kidney disease. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce disease flare-ups and the need for strong steroid medications. Researchers will compare the real device to a sham (fake) device in 30 children to check if it's feasible and shows promise for a larger future trial.
