Treatment Parameters for the Empower Neuromodulation System (ENS) (AUD1)

October 26, 2020 updated by: Theranova, L.L.C.

Study to Optimize and Validate the Treatment Parameters for the Empower Neuromodulation System

The subject will be administered a treatment at a treatment location and then be asked if he/she believes it is the active treatment, sham treatment, or does not know. A clinical-grade nerve conduction assessment system will be used both to provide electrical stimulation at four locations to record peripheral responses. The subject will self-administer two treatment sessions at two active treatment sites.
