PEG treatment to improve nerve repair after upper-arm injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests a PEG-based approach meant to help damaged peripheral nerves heal and regain movement and feeling after an upper-arm/hand nerve injury. You may be screened quickly after injury to see if the nerve pattern and your health situation fit the study plan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 80 years old
- Have a complete nerve injury in the arm from recent upper-extremity trauma, treated within 48 hours
- Your injury must affect specific upper-arm/forearm nerves (axillary, radial, median, ulnar, or musculocutaneous) between the upper arm and the wrist crease
- The injured nerve segment must include both feeling (sensory) and movement (motor) nerve fibers (a “mixed” injury)
- You must NOT start surgery only a few hours after injury, and it must not be a brachial plexus injury
- You must be able to attend all study visits and follow study instructions; you also cannot be allergic to polyethylene glycol (PEG) or be pregnant/breastfeeding

This study tests a way to help your brain and nerves work better after an arm/hand nerve repair that is already in the long-term (chronic) recovery stage. It may help improve hand and arm function by targeting “neuroplasticity,” meaning the brain’s ability to adapt after injury.
This trial compares three ways to repair a damaged peripheral nerve: a new bridge called NeuroSpan, a commonly used nerve guide (NeuraGen), and a nerve graft from your own body. It may help if you have a recent nerve injury in your arm or leg with a small gap.
This trial tests a special electrical stimulation device that responds to your own muscle signals to help your arm recover better after surgery to repair nerves in your forearm or hand. The goal is to help your muscles and nerves work together more effectively during healing.
This trial tests a non-surgical therapy to help regrow damaged hand nerves and improve symptoms like numbness, pain, and hand weakness. It may be most helpful if your nerve damage affects sleep and hand dexterity.
This trial tests whether high-intensity magnetic pulses applied to the injured area can reduce pain and improve muscle strength after a traumatic peripheral nerve injury. It is for people who still have pain and weakness at least 3 months after the injury.
This trial tests a regenerative nerve device/surgery approach to reduce painful nerve growths (neuromas) after a finger or partial hand amputation. You may qualify if you’re an adult with confirmed, localized neuroma pain and have already tried a 6-week desensitization therapy plan.
