Summary

This study tested whether a device that gently stimulates the vagus nerve through the ear could help control rheumatoid arthritis in one patient who had their spleen removed. The patient used the device at home for 24 months and visited the clinic every two months for checkups. The goal was to see if the treatment could reduce disease activity and inflammation markers like CRP.
