Summary

The objectives of this study are to determine if transcutaneous auricular neurostimulation (tAN) can modulate hemostasis, improve perceived quality of life, and improve pain during the menstrual cycle of von Willebrand Disease (VWD) patients.

Conditions

  • Von Willebrand Disease, Type 1
  • Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

Interventions

DEVICE

Volta System

The Volta System will be using the components of the Sparrow Ascent device: (FDA-cleared K230796) a wearable, battery-operated, neurostimulation system designed to transcutaneously stimulate nerves on and/or around the auricle. During Second Menstruation, participants will self-administer 2, 1-hour sessions of active tAN daily with the Volta System Device beginning Day 1 of second menstruation through the final day of second menstruation.
