Electrical stimulation for better recovery after cubital tunnel release
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have ulnar nerve compression at the elbow (cubital tunnel syndrome).
- You are scheduled for or have had cubital tunnel release surgery.
- You do not have nerve damage outside the affected elbow nerve.
- You do not have any active implanted medical devices (like a pacemaker).

This study tests whether a small electrical stimulation device, placed during your neck surgery, can help the nerve in your shoulder recover faster and reduce shoulder problems after surgery. It may help you regain shoulder strength and movement more quickly.
This study tests whether a specific type of electrical nerve stimulation (conditioning electrical stimulation) can improve outcomes for people with cubital tunnel syndrome. It is mainly for adults with more severe nerve damage based on specialist test results, and who have not had prior surgery for this problem.
This study tests whether a special electrical stimulation system, triggered by your own muscle signals, can help you recover better after nerve repair surgery in your arm or hand. The goal is to see if this therapy improves strength and movement compared to standard care alone.
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 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.
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.
