Nerve zap behind the nose may slow vision loss from dry macular degeneration
NCT ID NCT07570355
First seen May 11, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early study tests if stimulating a nerve cluster behind the nose (pterygopalatine ganglion) is safe and doable for people with geographic atrophy, a late stage of dry age-related macular degeneration that causes blind spots. About 62 adults will receive either real or sham stimulation over 12 months. The main goals are to see if people stick with the treatment and if it causes side effects, while also checking for any hints of vision improvement.
