Zapping the ear to fight stroke damage?

NCT ID NCT05390580

Summary

This study tested if a simple, non-invasive treatment could help people recover from a major stroke. Researchers gave 40 stroke patients gentle electrical stimulation to the ear, targeting a nerve linked to reducing inflammation. They compared this to a sham treatment to see if it lowered harmful inflammation in the blood and led to better recovery outcomes.
