Zapping the ear to heal the brain? new stroke trial tests simple device

NCT ID NCT07404852

Summary

This study is testing if a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear can help people recover from a major stroke. Researchers want to see if this stimulation can reduce harmful inflammation in the body and limit further brain injury after the initial stroke. The study will enroll 65 adults who have had a stroke caused by a large blood clot. Participants will receive either the real ear stimulation or a sham (fake) treatment, in addition to their standard stroke care.
