Study of a better robotic hand with feeling
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to control a robotic hand using sensors on your skin and to give you feeling back through mild electrical pulses. It may help people with upper limb amputations have a more natural sense of touch and control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new way to connect nerve signals from your amputated arm to a prosthetic hand, which may help you control it more naturally and feel what the hand is touching.
This study is testing new, more natural ways to control an advanced prosthetic hand for people with below-elbow amputations. It may help you move the prosthetic more easily and intuitively.
This study tests a new system that gives you touch sensations through a prosthetic hand. It aims to help you feel more connected to the device and improve how you use it.
This study uses a special technique to measure how nerves in the arm send signals to the brain. It compares healthy volunteers and people with an upper-limb amputation to better understand sensation and potentially improve prosthetic devices.
This trial tests a surgically placed device that connects to arm nerves to improve control and feeling in a prosthetic arm. It may help people with upper limb amputations who already use or are prescribed a myoelectric prosthesis.
This study tests how well a prosthetic touch system can give realistic sensory feedback. It aims to improve how prosthetic users feel touch and movement, based on controlled testing in volunteers.
