Suture method comparison for injured finger nerves
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical techniques to repair an injured nerve in the finger. It aims to improve how well sensation comes back after a traumatic digital nerve injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an isolated traumatic nerve injury in finger 2, 3, 4, or 5 (not thumb).
- You were 20 years or older at the time of injury.
- The injury is on the palm-side (volar) of the finger.
- You have new or changing loss of feeling over the injured area right after the injury.
- The injury was found within 7 days, and treatment can be done within 10 days after injury.
- Your injury happened from a type other than blunt impact or crushing.

This trial tests whether giving a small electrical signal during surgery helps nerves in the finger heal better after they are repaired. It might help you regain feeling and movement faster.
This study tests a new medical device called Mochida ReFeel to help repair nerves in your fingers after an injury. The device is placed between the two ends of a damaged nerve to help them grow back together and restore feeling and function.
This study compares two ways to treat certain finger bone fractures: using a small pin through the skin or using a splint. It also looks at early movement to help prevent stiffness and improve hand function.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for treating nerve pain after a finger amputation. It tests whether reconnecting the nerve endings or removing the nerve ending reduces pain better, and your participation may help improve care for future patients.
This trial tests a robot-assisted tool for repairing cut nerves in fingers or thumbs. It may help improve surgical precision and recovery.
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.
