NCT ID NCT05230628
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study tests a non-invasive device that sends mild electrical pulses to a nerve in the ear (the vagus nerve) to help people with obesity lose weight and feel better. About 131 adults with mild to moderate obesity will use the device and be tracked for changes in body fat, BMI, and waist size over 6 months. The goal is to see if this simple, drug-free approach can support weight management and improve daily life.
