Electrical stimulation to help a newly injured nerve heal
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether temporary electrical stimulation can help regenerate, or regrow, a nerve after an acute (recent) injury. It may be relevant if you have a new peripheral nerve injury, but it likely would not be for people with peripheral neuropathy or certain implanted devices.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a peripheral nerve injury (a nerve outside the brain/spinal cord) that happened recently or is considered acute
- You do not have peripheral neuropathy (widespread or ongoing nerve damage from other causes)
- You do not have any active implanted device (for example, an implanted electrical device that is turned on)
- You may need a check of your medical history and devices before you can enroll

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 trial tests a short burst of electrical stimulation during surgery to improve nerve healing and hand function after cubital tunnel release. It may help people with ulnar nerve problems at the elbow recover faster.
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 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 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 study tests whether stimulation through the skin of the tibial nerve can help people with a new spinal cord injury. It may help improve bladder-related symptoms or nerve signaling after injury, compared with standard care.
