Summary
This study tests a small device worn on the ear that sends gentle electrical pulses to the vagus nerve, aiming to safely reduce inflammation in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Twenty boys aged 5–17 will use the device at home for one week. The goal is to see if this approach can lower inflammatory markers in the blood, potentially offering a safer alternative to high-dose steroids.
