Comparing three nerve repair methods for arm and leg injuries
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares three ways to repair a damaged peripheral nerve: a new bridge called NeuroSpan, a commonly used nerve guide (NeuraGen), and a nerve graft from your own body. It may help if you have a recent nerve injury in your arm or leg with a small gap.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old and have a nerve injury in your arm or leg with a gap between 0.5 and 3 cm.
- The injured nerve is no wider than 3 mm.
- The injury happened within the last 3 months and has not been repaired surgically before.
- You do not have diabetes, nerve damage from a disease, or a history of chemotherapy that could slow nerve healing.
- You are not allergic to cow-based materials (like bovine collagen) and are not pregnant or planning pregnancy.

This Phase 2 study tests a PEG-based approach meant to help damaged peripheral nerves heal and regain movement and feeling after an upper-arm/hand nerve injury. You may be screened quickly after injury to see if the nerve pattern and your health situation fit the study plan.
This study tests a way to help your brain and nerves work better after an arm/hand nerve repair that is already in the long-term (chronic) recovery stage. It may help improve hand and arm function by targeting “neuroplasticity,” meaning the brain’s ability to adapt after injury.
This trial tests a surgical glue-like product (NTX-001) to help mend cut nerves in the arm or hand. If successful, it could improve recovery of movement and feeling after nerve injury.
This study tests a new nerve graft (Avance) against the standard sural nerve graft (taken from your leg) for repairing cut nerves in the arm or hand. The goal is to see which helps you recover function better over 2 years.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for treating nerve pain after a finger amputation. It tests whether reconnecting the nerve endings or removing the nerve ending reduces pain better, and your participation may help improve care for future patients.
This Phase 1 study tests whether adding a patient’s own nerve support cells to a severely injured nerve is safe and helpful. It’s for people with recent major nerve damage in an arm or leg, with strict safety checks.
