First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a noninvasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear (taVNS) could help breast cancer patients with insomnia. Twenty adults with stage I-IV breast cancer who had trouble sleeping for at least three months took part. The main goal was to see if the approach was practical and well-tolerated, with sleep quality measured through surveys.
