Summary

This study tests whether a device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear (transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation) can help people with chronic fatigue from fibromyalgia or long COVID get more benefit from exercise. 60 adults who still feel very tired after a standard exercise program will use the device alongside a 3-month exercise plan. The goal is to see if the device reduces fatigue and improves recovery, making it easier to stick with exercise.
