Summary
This pilot study tests a small device worn on the ear that gently stimulates a nerve to reduce inflammation in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The study involves 20 boys aged 5-17 who will use the device at home for one week. Researchers will measure changes in blood markers of inflammation to see if this approach is safe and could offer a gentler alternative to high-dose steroids.
