Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation on Post-Herpetic Neuralgia
Sponsor: Mohamed Hosny Ismail Easa
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) in the treatment of patients with post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN). Participants will receive taVNS in addition to standard care. The study aims to determine whether taVNS can provide significant pain relief and improve quality of life in PHN patients.

Interventions
transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS)
Use of the EV-906 device with TENS ear clips for transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS), applied according to the study protocol, in addition to standard medical treatment for post-herpetic neuralgia. This device meets ISO 13485, FDA QSR, and CE standards
traditional medical treatment for PHN
Standard medical treatment for post-herpetic neuralgia as per current clinical guidelines, without the application of taVNS device.
