NCT ID NCT06240026

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study looked at how a mild electrical stimulation on the ear (called taVNS) changes the way healthy people sense signals from inside their body, like pain, heartbeat, and temperature. Fifty healthy adults took part in two experiments to measure these effects. The goal was to better understand how this stimulation works, not to treat any disease.
