NCT ID NCT07360730
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at a collagen wrap used during nerve surgery to help healing. 40 patients had the wrap placed around repaired nerves in their arms or legs. Early results suggest it may improve movement and feeling, but more research is needed.
