Testing 4-AP for unclear nerve injuries after trauma
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a medication called 4-AP to see if it helps nerves in an injured arm or leg heal better. It is for people whose nerve injury might heal on its own, when doctors are not sure if surgery is needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an injury to one or two arms or legs that may have damaged a nerve.
- Doctors cannot tell just by looking whether the nerve is completely cut or just bruised.
- You can feel and move the injured limb at least a little bit, and you can describe what you feel.
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have not had surgery on the nerve in the last two days, and you do not need surgery in the next two days.
- You do not have a history of seizures, kidney problems, or certain other nerve conditions.

This trial is testing a medication called 4-aminopyridine (also known as AMPYRA®) to see if it helps skin wounds heal faster. It is for healthy adults who have a wound that can heal on its own, and does not involve any surgery.
This study tests a medicine called 4-aminopyridine (also used for nerve conditions) to see if it helps second-degree burns heal faster. If you have a fresh burn, you might be able to join.
This trial tests whether a medicine called 4-aminopyridine (4AP) can help recover or protect erectile function after “nerve-sparing” prostate surgery. It’s for men with early-stage, non-spread prostate cancer who are scheduled for robotic prostate surgery and have good baseline erections.
This trial tests if an intravenous medicine called AMBTX-01 (neridronate) can help people with early-stage Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) type 1. It focuses on those whose affected limb feels warm, looks red, and is swollen.
This trial tests a medication called 4-AP (also known as dalfampridine or Ampyra) as a possible treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to see if taking this pill twice a day for six weeks can improve symptoms without surgery.
This study tests whether a higher dose of a drug called 4-AP can help improve leg movement and function after a spinal cord injury. It is for people who have had a spinal cord injury at or above the lower back and can already move their ankle and hip slightly.
