Summary
This study tested a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve (a major nerve in the neck) to see if it can reduce fatigue in people with lupus. 75 adults with lupus and fatigue took part. Half received active stimulation, half received a sham (inactive) device. The goal was to measure changes in fatigue, disease activity, and other symptoms over both short-term and long-term use.
