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 reduce pain and improve daily life for people with post-herpetic neuralgia (long-term nerve pain after shingles). About 34 adults aged 35-65 with persistent pain will receive the stimulation on top of their usual care. The goal is to find a safe, drug-free way to ease this stubborn pain.
