Summary

This study tests a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear to see if it can prevent headaches after a brain aneurysm procedure. About 440 adults will either get the real stimulation or a fake version. The goal is to find a safe, drug-free way to reduce pain and the need for painkillers after surgery.
