Vein wrapping for nerve repair below the elbow
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether wrapping a damaged nerve with a piece of vein can help improve recovery after surgical nerve repair in the arm below the elbow. It is for people who have a traumatic nerve injury and need surgery within 6 months of the injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 60 years old
- Have a traumatic nerve injury that requires surgery
- Injury must be below the elbow, not above it
- Be able to have surgery within 6 months of the injury
- Not have other serious health problems like diabetes plus another chronic illness

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares three ways to repair a damaged peripheral nerve: a new bridge called NeuroSpan, a commonly used nerve guide (NeuraGen), and a nerve graft from your own body. It may help if you have a recent nerve injury in your arm or leg with a small gap.
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 nerve graft (Avance) against the standard sural nerve graft (taken from your leg) for repairing cut nerves in the arm or hand. The goal is to see which helps you recover function better over 2 years.
This study looks at surgery for a specific nerve problem at the elbow—the ulnar nerve. It aims to find whether the surgical approach can help people with symptoms caused by this isolated nerve compression.
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 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.
