Summary

This study tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses on the skin to treat pain and depression in people with cirrhosis. About 30 adults with cirrhosis and chronic pain will be randomly assigned to receive either real or fake (sham) treatment for 10 weeks. The main goal is to see if the device is acceptable and easy to use, not yet to prove it works.
