CLINICAL TRIAL

Compression of the Ulnar Nerve

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the ulnar nerve, which runs along the inner side of the elbow, becomes compressed or irritated. This can lead to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain in the hand and fingers — significantly impacting daily function and quality of life.

Surgical intervention is commonly used to relieve this compression, but recovery can be slow and often incomplete, especially when nerve damage is present.

How Electrical Stimulation May Help

This clinical study is evaluating a new therapeutic use of brief electrical stimulation delivered during surgery to promote nerve healing and enhance functional recovery. A single dose of stimulation is applied directly to the nerve at the time of decompression surgery.

Previous studies have shown that even a short period of electrical stimulation following nerve repair can accelerate axon regrowth and improve functional outcomes. By incorporating this therapy into standard surgical treatment for Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, researchers hope to boost the body’s natural healing response and improve recovery for patients.
