Our research team at the Chen Lab is recruiting participants for a paid study on pain management for Breast Cancer Survivors

This research is being conducted to evaluate if home-based ear stimulation is a feasible approach to reduce pain and related symptoms in Breast Cancer Survivors. This 8-week study requires 3 visits to our lab at FSU’s BSSMC at Innovation Park. During the visits participants will complete some questionnaires, sensory testing, and provide some stool samples. Additionally, there are two home-based taVNS sessions daily for 7 days each week, with each session lasting 30 minutes. You will be compensated for your time up to $150 in e-gift cards. 

If you are interested, please fill out this short survey: https://redcap.fsu.edu/surveys/?s=YR3WF7NFMC89APJN
