Treating Opioid Withdrawal—With the Ear???


Listen Later

Discover how stimulating specific points on the ear can dramatically reduce opioid withdrawal symptoms through an FDA-approved device called the ST Genesis. Shelley Halligan, President of Speranza Therapeutics, explains the science behind percutaneous nerve field stimulation and its remarkable effects on patients struggling with addiction.

• The device works by targeting cranial nerves in the ear to activate the parasympathetic nervous system
• Small electrical pulses delivered continuously for five days can significantly reduce withdrawal symptoms
• Clinical applications include shortening the waiting period before starting Suboxone treatment
• The technology may help prevent precipitated withdrawal, a major barrier to recovery
• Patient case studies show dramatic symptom reduction within minutes of application
• Preliminary evidence suggests effectiveness for alcohol and other substance withdrawals
• Research is underway to develop a 10-day version specifically for fentanyl withdrawal
• The device empowers patients by giving them more control over their treatment timeline
• Implementation in emergency settings could transform overdose follow-up care
• Healthcare providers can receive free training to incorporate this technology into practice
