Nerve surgery after leg biopsy to prevent nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if a surgical technique called RPNI can reduce the chance of a painful neuroma after a sural nerve biopsy in the leg. If it works, you may have less nerve pain and better recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are having a sural nerve and muscle biopsy (a small piece of nerve and muscle taken from your leg) to help diagnose a medical condition.
- You have not had any previous injury, surgery, or biopsy to that same nerve in your leg.

This trial tests a surgery called RPNI to treat painful nerve growths (neuromas) in people who have lost a leg. The goal is to reduce severe pain and improve the ability to use a prosthetic limb.
This trial tests a regenerative nerve device/surgery approach to reduce painful nerve growths (neuromas) after a finger or partial hand amputation. You may qualify if you’re an adult with confirmed, localized neuroma pain and have already tried a 6-week desensitization therapy plan.
This trial tests a new nerve surgery technique to help people with above-knee leg amputations have better control of their prosthetic leg. The goal is to improve how well the prosthesis responds to your movements.
This study tests two surgical techniques—target muscle re-innervation and regenerative peripheral nerve interfaces—alone or together, to help reduce pain felt in the remaining limb or the missing limb (phantom pain) after amputation for cancer. The goal is to find the best way to manage pain and improve quality of life.
This trial tests a surgical procedure called targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) to prevent pain after a leg amputation. The goal is to see if rerouting nerves during amputation can reduce phantom limb pain or stump pain.
This study tests whether a special nerve surgery, called a regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI), can prevent long-term pain after mastectomy with reconstruction. The goal is to improve your recovery and quality of life.
