OhmBody<\/a> is a wearable neurostimulation device designed to reduce period symptoms and cramps — no medication required — and it’s on display at CES 2026<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Also: CES 2026: Live updates<\/a><\/p>\n By attaching near the ear, the device targets the auricular branches of the trigeminal and vagus nerves to regulate menstrual cycle symptoms and help the body return to a rested state. These nerves play a crucial role throughout the menstrual cycle, releasing estrogen and progesterone, two essential sex hormones. They also target muscle contraction, blood flow, digestion, and more, a few body functions that change during a period, which explains the increase in cramps and tightening of blood vessels.\u00a0<\/p>\n Neurostimulation intensity is adjustable<\/p>\n Users can adjust the device’s neurostimulation to their desired intensity. At CES, an OhmBody representative explained that the earpiece’s neurostimulation is similar to a foot falling asleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n Women on their period can use the device, which includes a patented earpiece and a handheld device resembling a baby monitor, for two hours during the days they’re menstruating. The earpiece supplies stimulation to the aforementioned nerves, which OhmBody claims helps the nervous system return to a rested state.\u00a0<\/p>\n Also: This menstrual pad takes period blood and turns it into data diagnostics<\/a><\/p>\n A few studies<\/a> have found that vagus nerve stimulation makes a difference for those with dysmenorrhea, as well as reducing heavy bleeding<\/a>.<\/p>\n In recent years, technological solutions have emerged to address menstrual health issues. Products like Natural Cycles and Oura Rings help track menstrual cycles and deliver hormone-free birth control, utilizing sensor-rich wearable technology. Vivoo<\/a> unveiled a conceptual Flow Pad, a smart menstrual pad, at CES that can track vaginal microbiome health, fertility, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n Reducing period pain, however, doesn’t come cheap. OhmBody offers two price points for the device and eartips. The Active Kit<\/a>, meant for longer wear, costs $579, and the Classic Kit<\/a> costs $559.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nina Raemont\/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google.
