Electrical stimulation after arm or hand nerve surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have had surgery to repair a cut or damaged median or ulnar nerve in your arm or hand.
- You must be able to communicate clearly and understand instructions.
- You must not have any prior medical conditions (like nerve, bone, joint, or metabolic diseases) affecting that arm.
- You must not have a pacemaker, irregular heartbeat, seizures (epilepsy), or be pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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.
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 studies whether a mild electrical stimulation of the muscles and nerves can help improve hand and wrist function after surgery for a broken wrist. It is for people who had a specific type of surgery (a plate on the palm side) and are otherwise healthy in that arm.
