NCT ID NCT05583942
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a noninvasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear to help children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, a kidney condition that doesn't respond to standard steroids. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and tolerable, and if it can reduce inflammation and protein in the urine. Ten children aged 3-17 with specific kidney diagnoses will be randomly assigned to real or sham stimulation.
