Summary

This study tested whether a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve through the ear can help men with premature ejaculation. 102 men received either real or sham stimulation three times a week for 12 weeks. Researchers measured heart rate variability and sexual function to see if the treatment improves control.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) device
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a non-drug, non-invasive option to help men with premature ejaculation improve control and sexual satisfaction.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with no phase, and the sham group received no stimulation, so results may not be conclusive. The device may not work for everyone.
