Ear stimulation tested for mysterious 'Long Lyme' illness
NCT ID NCT04938687
Summary
This small, completed pilot study explored whether a gentle, non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in the ear could help reduce the debilitating symptoms of Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS). Fifteen adults with confirmed PTLDS were randomly assigned to receive either the real stimulation treatment or a sham (fake) version to see if it improved their fatigue, pain, sleep, mood, and thinking skills. The study also checked if the treatment changed levels of inflammation in the blood.
