Earbud-like nerve stimulator may offer relief for people suffering from indigestion

People who suffer frequent indigestion may find relief with a small device that hooks onto the ear known as a transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulator, or taVNS. People who used taVNS showed significant improvements in their stomach's ability to accommodate and process a meal, according to a new study.
