Testing a new surface EMG device for muscle and nerve conditions
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new device that measures muscle and nerve signals using non-invasive (surface) electrodes. It aims to see if this device can replace the standard needle EMG test, which is more painful. The trial includes both healthy volunteers and patients with muscle or nerve disorders.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must be able to understand and follow study instructions.
- You should not have any skin problems or allergies to metal where the electrode will be placed.
- If you are a patient, you must have a diagnosis of myopathy or neuropathy and need a needle EMG test.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You cannot take certain medications like muscle relaxants, statins, or benzodiazepines.

This study checks how well a device’s surface muscle signals (recorded on the skin) match what happens during post-stroke rehabilitation tasks. It may help improve how rehab progress is measured, using information from both healthy participants and people after a first stroke.
This study uses a painless electrical method to record how muscles and nerves work over time. It aims to better understand normal patterns (healthy volunteers) and to learn how these signals change in people with neuromuscular or movement-related conditions.
This study measures how nerves communicate with muscles, using recordings and gels. It aims to spot early, personalized signs of conditions like ALS and related diseases, and to improve diagnosis.
This study tests a new sensor and cable that monitors muscle response during procedures where you are given medication to temporarily relax your muscles (paralytic). It helps doctors make sure the medication is working properly and wears off safely.
This study tests a new wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to treat chronic pain in the knee, arm, or shoulder. It is for people whose pain started after surgery or injury and who have not found enough relief with standard treatments.
This study tests a non-invasive brain/nerve stimulation method (called NESA) using small sensors/electrodes placed on the skin. It likely aims to see how the nervous system responds in healthy people, measured with body signals and questionnaires.
