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 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 study tests a single dose of a medication (4-aminopyridine) to help doctors see if a damaged vocal cord nerve is still connected and might recover. It does this by temporarily improving nerve signaling, which could help guide treatment decisions after an injury.
This study tests a medicine called 4-AP (also known as Ampyra) to see if it can improve hand symptoms in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It is a 6-week treatment that you take twice a day, and the study will check if it helps with your symptoms.
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.
This trial tests a new drug called NG004 given by injection around the spinal cord. It aims to help people with recent incomplete spinal cord injuries recover function. The drug is given within the first month after injury and may be an option for those who meet the health criteria.
