Ear zaps and therapy: new hope for Parkinson's balance?
NCT ID NCT07440563
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a gentle electrical stimulation to the ear (auricular vagus nerve stimulation) combined with standard physical therapy can improve balance, walking, and other symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. About 20 adults with mild to moderate Parkinson's will take part. The goal is to see if this safe, non-invasive approach offers extra benefits beyond therapy alone.
