First seen May 11, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests whether stimulating a nerve cluster behind the nose (pterygopalatine ganglion) is safe and doable for people with geographic atrophy, a severe form of dry age-related macular degeneration. About 62 adults will receive either real or sham stimulation over 12 months. Researchers will check side effects and measure changes in vision, retinal blood flow, and the size of the damaged area.
