Ear-based vagus nerve stimulation to improve recovery after major noncardiac surgery
This test will try whether non-invasive ear (transcutaneous auricular) vagus nerve stimulation given around the time of major noncardiac surgery helps adults recover better.
-
Intraoral TENS to reduce orthodontic pain during alignment
This trial will test whether applying a small intraoral TENS device right after placing braces can reduce pain in adolescents and adults.
-
Effects of high frequency electrical current on muscle pain and function
This study is testing if a new type of electrical therapy called TECAR can help people with muscle pain and movement problems feel better compared to a standard treatment.
-
Using electrical stimulation to manage pain after cesarean delivery
This study is testing if a device that uses electrical stimulation can help women manage pain after having a cesarean delivery better than a placebo.
