Ultrasound-guided elbow nerve release for Lacertus syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a minimally invasive ultrasound-guided procedure to release the median nerve at the elbow in people with Lacertus syndrome (a condition where the nerve gets compressed). It aims to relieve symptoms like pain, tingling, or weakness in the hand and forearm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 69 years old
- You have been diagnosed with Lacertus syndrome (nerve compression at the elbow) in one or both arms
- You have had a normal nerve conduction test (EMG)
- You have not had surgery or a broken bone in your elbow before
- You are not taking part in any other medical study

This study tests whether a specific nerve release surgery for the forearm (proximal median nerve) helps reduce symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness. It is for people with confirmed proximal median nerve compression who have not had recent surgery or other nerve conditions.
This study tests if Kinesio tape, a special stretchy tape placed on the skin, can help relieve pain from lacertus syndrome – a condition where a band near your elbow presses on a nerve. Participants will apply the tape at home and attend visits to see if their symptoms improve.
This study compares two surgical approaches for carpal tunnel syndrome—one that releases pressure on the median nerve in one location versus releasing it in two locations. The goal is to find out which approach works better for relieving symptoms like numbness and tingling in the hand.
This study looks at surgery for a specific nerve problem at the elbow—the ulnar nerve. It aims to find whether the surgical approach can help people with symptoms caused by this isolated nerve compression.
This trial tests a new, less invasive way to release the tight ligament in the wrist that causes carpal tunnel syndrome. It uses ultrasound to guide a curved needle and thread to cut the ligament, which may lead to less pain and faster recovery.
This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to check for carpal tunnel syndrome (a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, causing numbness or pain in your hand). It compares people with the condition to healthy volunteers to see if the ultrasound can help diagnose it.
