Nerve stimulation plus standard therapy for upper limb pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle nerve stimulation treatment, added to standard physical therapy, helps reduce pain and improve function in people with arm, shoulder, or hand problems. If you haven't started physical therapy yet, this could be a way to try a new approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are of working age (typically 18 to 65).
- You have a muscle, bone, or joint problem in your arm, shoulder, or hand.
- You have not yet had physical therapy for this problem.
- You have not had surgery on your upper limb.
- You do not have muscle wasting in your arm caused by the condition.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether adding nerve stimulation to standard physical therapy helps working-age adults with lower limb muscle or joint pain. It aims to see if this combination reduces pain and improves function better than therapy alone.
This study tests whether a special electrical stimulation system, triggered by your own muscle signals, can help you recover better after nerve repair surgery in your arm or hand. The goal is to see if this therapy improves strength and movement compared to standard care alone.
This study tests a combination of hands-on therapy and a small electrical nerve stimulation treatment to reduce pain and improve hand function in people with moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help you avoid surgery and find relief from symptoms that have lasted at least 3 months.
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator, already being placed for chronic pain, can also improve strength and function in your arm or hand after nerve transfer surgery. It aims to give you a boost in everyday use beyond what standard hand therapy has provided.
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.
This study tests a new wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to treat chronic pain in the knee, arm, or shoulder. It is for people whose pain started after surgery or injury and who have not found enough relief with standard treatments.
