Summary
This study tested a small device that sends mild electrical pulses through the skin to stimulate the vagus nerve, aiming to reduce pain and inflammation in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The trial planned to enroll 18 participants aged 5-18, comparing the active device to a sham (fake) version. However, the study was terminated early, so results are limited.
