Summary
This trial is testing electrical stimulation to help nerves heal & improve recovery after arm surgery. Participants get standard care plus added stimulation.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-80 with certain types of nerve injuries in the arm, who are candidates for surgery to fix these nerves. They must be able to give consent and not have severe heart issues or other conditions that would prevent surgery.
What is being tested?
The study tests electrical stimulation therapy called Checkpoint BEST System on patients during arm nerve repair surgery. Participants are split into two groups: one receives standard care plus the stimulation, while the control group gets only standard care.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed, electrical stimulation may cause discomfort, skin irritation at the site of application, or muscle twitching. Standard surgical risks also apply.
