Electrical Stimulation to Help Arm Recovery After Nerve Surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a special electrical stimulation device that responds to your own muscle signals to help your arm recover better after surgery to repair nerves in your forearm or hand. The goal is to help your muscles and nerves work together more effectively during healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to communicate clearly with the research team
- You cannot have had previous nerve, bone, joint, or metabolic diseases in the same arm
- You cannot be pregnant
- You cannot have a heart pacemaker or irregular heartbeat
- You cannot have epilepsy or seizure disorders
- You cannot have brain or spinal cord conditions

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.
This trial tests whether combining electrical muscle stimulation with nerve movement exercises can help improve arm strength and function in people who've had a stroke at least 3 months ago. The goal is to help you regain better control and movement in your affected arm.
This trial tests a short burst of electrical stimulation during surgery to improve nerve healing and hand function after cubital tunnel release. It may help people with ulnar nerve problems at the elbow recover faster.
This trial tests if combining two types of electrical stimulation with a robotic device can help improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be a good option if you have some movement in your arm but not full strength.
This trial tests if an electrical stimulator controlled by muscle signals can help improve arm function after a stroke. It may benefit people who have some movement but not full control in one arm.
