Test micro-electrode nerve implants for hand signal feedback
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether tiny implanted sensors in a nerve can record brain/nerve signals and use them to provide feedback for people with a transradial arm amputation. If it works, it could help improve control or awareness with a prosthetic hand or related devices.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 64 years old
- You have a transradial arm amputation (at the wrist/forearm level)
- The amputation is either on one side or both sides (unilateral or bilateral)
- Your amputation was caused by trauma or done as an elective procedure
- You can consent and understand what the study involves
- You are not currently pregnant and can safely be in a general anesthesia setting

This study tests a new approach that uses small nerve and muscle grafts along with temporary electrodes to help people with an above-wrist arm amputation get better control of a bionic arm. If it works, it could make prosthetics feel more natural and easier to use.
This study checks whether a new sensor-enabled prosthesis for people with a lower-arm (transradial) amputation can be safely fitted and used. It may help improve how well a prosthesis can read muscle signals to control a hand/arm replacement.
This study tests whether a nerve-based “feedback” system can help people with below-knee or above-knee amputations during standing and walking. It focuses on whether the training and device setup are safe and workable for participants over the study period.
This trial tests how different numbers and types of muscle signals (myoelectric) affect control of a prosthetic hand and wrist. It aims to find the best setup for people with a below-elbow amputation who have used a myoelectric prosthetic before.
This trial tests a new way to control a bionic hand for people who have a below-elbow amputation. The goal is to make the hand easier and more natural to use.
This study is testing different ways to control an arm prosthesis for people missing a hand or lower arm (transradial amputation). It may help compare how well people can use a myoelectric (muscle-signal) prosthesis using either direct control or pattern recognition.
