First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study tested a small, non-invasive device placed on the ear to treat paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) in children aged 2–17 with severe brain injury. PSH causes sudden episodes of racing heart, high blood pressure, sweating, and stiffness. The device aims to calm the overactive nervous system by stimulating a nerve in the ear. The study was stopped early and focused on whether it was possible to run a larger trial, not on proving the device works.
