NCT ID NCT03209947
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to find the normal ultrasound size of the ulnar nerve at the elbow in 50 healthy adults. Participants had no history of ulnar nerve problems. Researchers measured the nerve's surface area to establish a reference range, which could help diagnose nerve issues in the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors better diagnose ulnar nerve problems by providing a standard for what a healthy nerve looks like on ultrasound.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational study in healthy people, so the results may not apply to everyone or to those with nerve symptoms.
