NCT ID NCT05588063
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear to see if it can help control nephrotic syndrome in children aged 3-17. The goal is to reduce relapses and the need for steroids or other immune-suppressing drugs. Thirty children will be randomly assigned to receive either the real stimulation or a sham (fake) treatment to measure safety and effectiveness.
