What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This trial investigates whether a mild electrical current applied behind the ears—called galvanic vestibular stimulation—can change heart rate variability in healthy adults during their normal workday. Participants receive either real or sham stimulation over four daily sessions while their heart activity is monitored. The study also looks at whether any effects depend on how dizzy people feel during stimulation.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS) using BrainPatch device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-invasive way to improve heart rate regulation and stress resilience in healthy people.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in healthy volunteers, so results may not apply to broader populations or have clinical significance.
