Zapping the ear to fight childhood arthritis?

NCT ID NCT05710640

Summary

This study tested whether a small device that delivers mild electrical stimulation to the ear could safely reduce pain and inflammation in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Participants, aged 5 to 18, used the device at home daily for 5 minutes. The goal was to see if this non-drug approach could help control the disease by stimulating a nerve known to calm inflammation.
