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 releasing the median nerve above the wrist can relieve hand pain, numbness, or weakness. It helps people with nerve compression in the arm that hasn't improved with other treatments.
This study tests whether a special elastic tape (Kinesio tape) placed on the forearm can help relieve pain and symptoms caused by lacertus syndrome, a condition where a tissue band presses on a nerve. If you qualify, you will apply the tape at home following a treatment plan, and the researchers will see if it helps.
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 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.
This study uses ultrasound to measure the size of a nerve in your wrist and compares it with your sense of touch. It aims to see if the ultrasound results match how much feeling you have lost in your hand.
