Could a simple ear zap improve heart failure?

NCT ID NCT03945058

Summary

This study tested whether gently stimulating a nerve in the ear for four weeks could improve blood vessel health and memory in people with a weakened heart. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either the real stimulation or a fake version. The researchers measured blood vessel function, memory, and blood markers before and after the treatment period to see if there was any benefit.
