Study Summary

This trial is testing a new treatment for a condition called cubital tunnel syndrome. The condition can cause poor nerve function, and this new treatment may help improve nerve regeneration.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 with severe Cubital Tunnel Syndrome (CuTS), confirmed by specific grades and tests showing significant nerve damage in the hand muscles. It's not open to those with other nerve injuries, previous CuTS surgery, or additional neurological conditions.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing if electrical stimulation can help people recover better from severe CuTS. Participants will receive this treatment as an add-on to see if it speeds up nerve regeneration compared to usual care alone.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Electrical stimulation may cause discomfort, skin irritation at the site of application, muscle twitching during use, and in rare cases could lead to worsening symptoms if not properly administered.
