Summary
This small pilot study tested whether a wearable device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear (taVNS) is safe and practical for teens aged 12-17 with both autism and anxiety. Ten participants used the device at home twice a day for four weeks. The main goal was to see if it was safe and easy to use, not to prove it works, but results may lead to larger studies.
