Filter by:The goal of this trial is to evaluate the effects of mirror therapy combined with contralaterally controlled functional electrical stimulation on motor recovery and neuroplasticity in patients with peripheral nerve injury. The main questions it aims to answer are Question 1: To compare corticomuscular coherence between the groups of mirror therapy combined with contralaterally controlled functional electrical stimulation, sham mirror therapy combined with contralaterally controlled functional electrical stimulation, and control group. Question 2: To compare sensorimotor recovery between the groups of mirror therapy combined with contralaterally controlled functional electrical stimulation, sham mirror therapy combined with contralaterally controlled functional electrical stimulation, and control group. Question 3: To evaluate the effects of each intervention on corticomuscular coherence and sensorimotor recovery 12 weeks post-intervention. Participants will be asked to exercise their affected hand together with the unaffected hand while receiving contralaterally controlled electrical stimulation in front of the mirror or sham mirror. Researchers will compare the effects of mirror therapy combined with contralaterally controlled functional electrical stimulation on corticomuscular coherence and sensorimotor recovery with the other groups.
Over the last years a rising medical need for treatment of chronic pain was identified. Based on previous findings indicating the pain modulating effects of cannabinoids in chronic pain disorders, this clinical trial investigates the long term efficacy and tolerability of the THC-focused nano endocannabinoid system modulator AP707 in patients with chronic pain disorders due to traumatic or post-operative peripheral neuropathy. Patients receive AP707 or placebo over the course of 14 weeks as an add-on to the standard of care. Changes in pain intensity, quality of life and sleep and others measures are monitored through different scales to assess the efficacy of AP707 in patients with chronic pain due to traumatic or post-operative peripheral neuropathy.

The primary purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and possible harms of injecting one's own Schwann cells along with nerve auto-graft after a severe injury to a major nerve has occurred.
This study evaluates the impact of extracorporeal shock wave treatment after microsurgical coaptation of finger nerves. Participants will be randomized into two treatment groups with different settings and a sham group. The participants will thereafter followed-up in a prospective, double-blind study design.
Current strategies for peripheral nerve repair are severely limited. Even with current techniques, it can take months for regenerating axons to reach denervated target tissues when injuries are proximally located. This inability to rapidly restore the loss of function after axonal injury continues to produce poor clinical outcomes. The investigators propose testing the efficacy and safety of a combination therapy: polyethylene glycol (PEG) assisted axonal fusion technique to repair peripheral nerve injuries in humans.
Ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block is a common regional anesthesia technique. The optimal method of needle guidance (in-plane versus out-of-plane) with regards to the block efficacy and avoidance of needle-nerve contact has not been established. In this study the investigators tests the hypothesis that the incidence of needle-nerve contact is higher with the needle insertion in an out-of-plane than with the in-plane approach.
