Electrical stimulation for nerve healing after finger nerve repair
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a small electrical signal during surgery helps nerves in the finger heal better after they are repaired. It might help you regain feeling and movement faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You need surgery on at least one nerve in your finger.
- The nerve gap after trimming must be 10 mm or less.
- The nerve can be stitched together directly or with a small graft up to 15 mm.
- You must be able to have surgery under general anesthesia (fully asleep).
- You must not have nerve damage in other parts of your body (like from diabetes).

This study tests a new medical device called Mochida ReFeel to help repair nerves in your fingers after an injury. The device is placed between the two ends of a damaged nerve to help them grow back together and restore feeling and function.
This study compares two surgical techniques to repair an injured nerve in the finger. It aims to improve how well sensation comes back after a traumatic digital nerve injury.
This trial is testing whether temporary electrical stimulation can help regenerate, or regrow, a nerve after an acute (recent) injury. It may be relevant if you have a new peripheral nerve injury, but it likely would not be for people with peripheral neuropathy or certain implanted devices.
This trial tests a robot-assisted tool for repairing cut nerves in fingers or thumbs. It may help improve surgical precision and recovery.
This study tests a way to help your brain and nerves work better after an arm/hand nerve repair that is already in the long-term (chronic) recovery stage. It may help improve hand and arm function by targeting “neuroplasticity,” meaning the brain’s ability to adapt after injury.
This trial tests a mild electrical stimulation to the nerves in your arm to help repair a recently damaged median or ulnar nerve (nerves that control hand movement). It might help your hand function recover better after surgery or injury.
