Summary

This study tests a small device worn on the ear that sends gentle electrical pulses to nerves. The goal is to see if it can reduce pain and other symptoms in children ages 11-18 who have had a concussion or long COVID for at least 3 months. The study will measure changes in balance, thinking, nausea, and pain. It is not a cure, but aims to help kids feel better day-to-day.
