NCT ID NCT07515911
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will compare two methods for locating the ulnar nerve in the wrist: using ultrasound imaging versus measuring physical landmarks. Researchers will enroll 40 healthy adults to see which technique is more reliable for placing stimulating electrodes. The goal is to improve how doctors deliver electrical stimulation to hand muscles.
