Study of NTX-001 for nerve repair in arm injuries
This trial tests a surgical glue-like product (NTX-001) to help mend cut nerves in the arm or hand. If successful, it could improve recovery of movement and feeling after nerve injury.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT07657182RecruitingPhase 4
Study comparing two nerve grafts for arm or hand recovery
This study tests a new nerve graft (Avance) against the standard sural nerve graft (taken from your leg) for repairing cut nerves in the arm or hand. The goal is to see which helps you recover function better over 2 years.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06152328Recruiting
Virtual reality mirror therapy for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether virtual reality mirror therapy can help people recover arm movement after a stroke. It is for people who had an ischemic stroke a few months ago and still have some arm weakness.
Bolu, MerkezAges 40–80 - NCT06574737Recruiting
Can muscle signals predict arm recovery after stroke?
This study tests whether a simple muscle signal test (called surface EMG) can predict how well your arm will recover after a stroke. It involves placing small stickers on your skin to measure muscle activity while you try to move your affected arm.
Bandung, West JavaAges 18 years+ - NCT06672458Recruiting
Electrical stimulation to help arm and hand function after spinal cord injury
This trial uses a non-invasive device called MyndMove to apply small electrical pulses to the arm muscles, helping to improve movement after a spinal cord or nerve injury. It may be an option for people who still have some connection between their brain and arm muscles.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT05866003Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus hand training after stroke
This trial tests whether a combination of brain stimulation and structured hand practice can improve hand movement for people recovering from stroke. It may help because the training targets upper-limb function while using therapy intended to support recovery.
