Official title
Auricular Vagal Neuromodulation Therapy (AVNT™) for the Alleviation of Depression and Anxiety in Substance Use Disorder
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This pilot study will evaluate whether home-based auricular vagal neuromodulation therapy (AVNT) is practical, acceptable, and well tolerated for adults receiving treatment for substance use disorder. Participants will use a handheld device that delivers mild electrical stimulation to the ear for approximately 60 minutes each day over 30 days. Researchers will examine whether participants can successfully use the device as directed and complete study procedures. The study will also explore whether use of the device is associated with changes in depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and substance craving.
