NCT ID NCT07434999
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a surgical procedure that moves two tendons in the forearm to help people with long-term ulnar nerve damage regain the ability to pinch. 17 adults aged 18-60 with stable joints and no other nerve injuries will be followed for 12 weeks after surgery. The goal is to see if grip strength and hand function improve.

- Active substance
- Combined ECRB and APL tendon transfer surgery
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this surgical technique could improve hand function and daily activities for people with chronic ulnar nerve injury.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small study (17 people) with no comparison group, so results may not apply widely. Surgery carries risks like infection or limited improvement.
