Official title
Electrical Nerve Stimulation of the Ulnar Nerve During Cubital Tunnel Decompression Surgery: Does it Improve Long Term Functional Outcomes?
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Cubital tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow. This leads to symptoms such as chronic hand weakness, numbness and pain. This is usually treated with a surgical procedure where the nerve is decompressed. Research has shown that nerve simulators speed up the recovery of nerves following injury. The purpose of our research is to examine the difference in patient outcomes after the nerve decompression surgery with and without nerve stimulation. Our research questions is: What are the differences in long term functional outcomes of patients that have ulnar nerve decompression surgery with and without nerve stimulation?
