NCT ID NCT07593365
First seen May 20, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026
Summary
This study tests if a mild electrical stimulation applied to the ear (called taVNS) can reduce joint and muscle pain caused by aromatase inhibitors, a common hormone therapy for breast cancer. About 216 women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer will receive either active taVNS or a sham (fake) treatment daily for 28 days. Researchers will measure pain relief, mood, quality of life, and side effects over 6 months.
