Surgery for an elbow nerve problem (ulnar nerve) study
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at surgery for a specific nerve problem at the elbow—the ulnar nerve. It aims to find whether the surgical approach can help people with symptoms caused by this isolated nerve compression.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have (or strongly suspect) a nerve problem at your elbow affecting the ulnar nerve
- A nerve test (electrodiagnostic study) has findings that match ulnar nerve slowing/changes at the elbow
- You’re willing to follow all study visits and procedures for the full study period
- You can read and answer questionnaires in English
- You have not had a previous elbow fracture that needed surgery (fixation)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a mild electrical stimulation to the nerves in your arm to help repair a recently damaged median or ulnar nerve (nerves that control hand movement). It might help your hand function recover better after surgery or injury.
This trial tests a minimally invasive ultrasound-guided procedure to release the median nerve at the elbow in people with Lacertus syndrome (a condition where the nerve gets compressed). It aims to relieve symptoms like pain, tingling, or weakness in the hand and forearm.
This study tests whether a specific type of electrical nerve stimulation (conditioning electrical stimulation) can improve outcomes for people with cubital tunnel syndrome. It is mainly for adults with more severe nerve damage based on specialist test results, and who have not had prior surgery for this problem.
This study tests whether a specific nerve release surgery for the forearm (proximal median nerve) helps reduce symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness. It is for people with confirmed proximal median nerve compression who have not had recent surgery or other nerve conditions.
This study tests surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome—a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets compressed, causing numbness, tingling, or pain in your hand. You may qualify if you have confirmed carpal tunnel syndrome and conservative treatments like splints haven't helped.
This study uses ultrasound to compare the ulnar nerve (a nerve in your arm) in people with and without generalized joint hypermobility (very flexible joints). It aims to understand if joint flexibility affects nerve structure.
