NCT ID:
NCT06783504
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to find out if we can stimulate the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is a largely internal nerve that controls many bodily functions, including stomach function. We hope that electrically stimulating the nerve around the external ear will also stimulate the internal vagus nerve. If it does, then we hope that this will help our treatment of patients with nausea and vomiting and disordered stomach function.
Detailed Description:
Each participant will be randomized to receive Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Field Stimulation (PENFS) treatment with or without stimulation. The study involves 6 study visits. Study procedures include: removing and replacing the PENFS device, questionnaires, ECG, assessment use of galvanic skin response (GSR), pneumatic belt to assess breathing, physical examine, and blood draws.
