Nerve stimulation for sciatic nerve injury in children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if electrical nerve stimulation can help children aged 3 to 19 who have nerve damage in the leg caused by an injection. The goal is to improve nerve healing and leg function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child or teenager between 3 and 19 years old.
- You have nerve damage in your leg caused by an injection (usually in the buttock or thigh).
- Your parent or guardian agrees to you joining the study, and you also agree if you are old enough to understand.
- You do not need surgery for a completely severed nerve.
- You do not have other nerve or muscle conditions (like muscular dystrophy or multiple sclerosis).
- You are able to take part in physical therapy and do not have other serious health problems that would interfere.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether combining a mild electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve with specific exercises can reduce leg pain from sciatica. It is for people whose nerve-related leg pain has lasted over 6 months and is at least a 3 out of 10 in intensity.
This trial tests if a single session of electrical stimulation to the sciatic nerve can quickly reduce leg pain related to low back problems. It may help if you have had chronic sciatica (leg pain from your back) for more than 6 months and your pain has recently been interfering with daily life.
This trial studies whether a painless, skin-based treatment (stimulation over the spine) is safe and feasible to improve arm and hand function in children with a spinal cord injury. It’s mainly designed to see if the approach can be done safely and whether it may help upper-limb skills.
This trial tests a spinal cord stimulation device to help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain leg movement. It aims to improve muscle control and function.
This trial tests whether adding a gentle nerve stimulation device (neuromodulation) to standard physical therapy can help people with leg, knee, ankle, or foot pain recover faster. It is for adults who have not yet started physical therapy.
This trial tests if spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to your spinal cord) can help relieve long-lasting nerve pain in your arm or leg that hasn't gotten better with other treatments. It's for people who have had this pain for at least 6 months and are willing to try a new approach.
