Not a traditional drug phase: External trigeminal nerve stimulation for Acute Ischemic Stroke

The goal of this clinical trial is to measure the how well it works of a 5-day short-course external trigeminal nerve stimulation (eTNS) regimen in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are whether a 5-day eTNS intervention can significantly improve the neurological response rate at Day 30 compared to sham stimulation, and whether this short-course treatment yields sustained improvements in neuropsychiatric symptoms (depression, anxiety, and insomnia) over a 90-day follow-up period.

Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.

What the registry says happens

If you join, the listed intervention(s) are External trigeminal nerve stimulation, or Sham eTNS. The registry lists allocation as randomized. The goal of this clinical trial is to measure the how well it works of a 5-day short-course external trigeminal nerve stimulation (eTNS) regimen in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

They plan to enroll about 60 people at Xi'an. Taking part typically means using or being fitted with a device plus check-ins.
