One-Hour nerve zaps could speed up injury recovery
NCT ID NCT05721261
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a temporary electrical stimulation system that delivers a single, one-hour therapy to help heal acutely injured peripheral nerves. Researchers will enroll 110 people with recent nerve injuries to see if the treatment is safe and improves sensory recovery. The approach aims to boost the body's natural healing process without long-term medication.
