Stem-like nerve cell treatment for severe nerve injuries
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This Phase 1 study tests whether adding a patient’s own nerve support cells to a severely injured nerve is safe and helpful. It’s for people with recent major nerve damage in an arm or leg, with strict safety checks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a severe nerve injury in a major arm or leg nerve (sciatic, brachial plexus, or another major nerve) within the last year
- You are 18 to 65 years old
- You can safely have an MRI scan
- The gap in the injured nerve is not longer than 10 cm
- You can have a small nerve sample taken from the leg area used for this treatment, and nothing stops that process

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.
This study tests whether bone-marrow stem cells can improve nerve function in people with nerve damage that usually doesn’t recover with current care. It also checks whether the treatment is safe and whether people can be followed over time with repeated nerve exams.
This trial tests a cell transplant approach for people with a very severe spinal cord injury. It focuses first on safety and also looks for early signs the therapy may improve function.
This phase 1 trial tests a new treatment made from stem cells (XS228) for people who had a spinal cord injury 14 to 60 days ago. Doctors want to see if it's safe and if it might help with recovery.
This study tests a combination of two experimental treatments for people with chronic spinal cord injury: an injection of stem cells around the spinal cord, and a non-invasive therapy that uses a mild electrical current on the skin to help the spinal cord work better. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and helps with recovery of movement and function.
This early study tests whether two types of stem cells—made from your own fat cells versus from donated umbilical-cord cells—are safe when injected into the fluid around the spinal cord. It may help researchers find safer cell-based options for people with spinal cord injury.
