Summary

This study tests whether the UpRight Go posture trainer, a wearable device that vibrates when you slouch, can reduce pain, numbness, and weakness in people with cubital tunnel syndrome who haven't had surgery. Researchers at Yale University plan to enroll 40 adults and track symptom changes over time. The goal is to see if improving posture can be a simple, non-invasive treatment option.
