First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study is testing if a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear can lower inflammation and improve outcomes for people who have had a spontaneous brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage). The study will enroll 50 participants and measure inflammatory markers in blood and spinal fluid, as well as complications like vasospasm and the need for a permanent shunt. The goal is to see if this simple stimulation can help the brain heal better.
