Hypermobile EDS and hypermobile spectrum disorder (collectively referred to as hEDS) are estimated to affect 1 in 500 individuals worldwide. This study will enroll hEDS patients to test a new ear stimulation system to help reduce symptoms associated with hEDS, including pain and GI problems. Ear stimulation will be applied twice daily, for four weeks at home, and we will collect electronic behavioral data to track progress.
We will evaluate the ability of a technology-based intervention E-Care to improve communication of information about breast cancer risk and improve discussion about breast cancer screening in the primary care setting. Women ages 25-75 seen by their primary care clinician are potentially eligible to participate. Study activities include completion of a health questionnaire, reviewing a video on breast cancer screening, completion of a post-visit survey, and potential opportunity for a brief interview.
