Ear zaps tested to rekindle motivation in Parkinson's patients
NCT ID NCT07118956
Summary
This study is testing whether gentle electrical stimulation of the ear (targeting the vagus nerve) can improve apathy—a common loss of motivation—in people with Parkinson's disease. For two weeks, 60 participants will receive either the real stimulation or a sham (fake) treatment to compare effects. Researchers will measure changes in motivation, mood, sleep, and other non-motor symptoms to see if the treatment is safe and helpful.
