Summary
This study tests whether a small, wearable device that gently stimulates nerves in the ear can improve mood and physical symptoms in women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) or perimenopause. Participants use the device daily and report their symptoms through online surveys. The goal is to see if this non-invasive approach offers relief without medication.
