First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear (called taVNS) could reduce the risk of delayed stomach emptying after a major pancreatic surgery. 84 adults undergoing this surgery were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve stimulation or a sham treatment. The main goal was to see if the stimulation lowered the rate of delayed gastric emptying, a common and uncomfortable complication.
