ABVN Phase 2-Studying the Effect of Stimulation on the Auricular Branch of the Vagal Nerve (NCT06491758)

Effect of Electrical Stimulation of the Auricular Branch of the Vagus Nerve (ABVN) on Cervical Vagus Nerve Action Potentials Phase 2

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic โš™๏ธ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: Indiana University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The purpose of this study is to find out if we can gain access to the vagus nerve which is largely an internal nerve that controls stomach function. We hope to gain access to the internal vagus nerve by electrically stimulating the nerve around the external ear. If we can do this then we hope that this will help our treatment of patients with nausea and vomiting and disordered stomach function
