Shocking nerves back to life: new hope for amputees
NCT ID NCT03409133
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether small electrical currents delivered to nerves in the leg can restore sensation of a missing foot or limb in 15 adults with above- or below-knee amputations. Participants may also get muscle implants to help control a robotic leg. The goal is to improve walking and quality of life, not to cure the amputation.
