Summary

This study tests whether giving a 10-minute electrical stimulation to a repaired finger nerve during surgery can speed up healing and improve sensation. Sixty adults aged 18-80 with a cut digital nerve will receive either standard surgical repair alone or with added electrical stimulation. Researchers will measure how well patients regain feeling and pain levels over time.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
brief electrical stimulation therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to faster and better recovery of feeling after finger nerve repair surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants. The electrical stimulation may not speed up healing more than standard surgery alone.
