Conditioning Electrical Stimulation to Improve Outcomes in Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Recruiting now · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, Electrical Stimulation

In brief

Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common compression neuropathy. In severe cases, functional recovery, even with surgery, is often poor. Therefore, alternative adjunct treatments capable of increasing the speed of nerve regeneration are much needed.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 79. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Patients aged >18 yr,
• If signs and symptoms of severe CuTS (ie, McGowan-Goldberg grade 3) were observed,
• If needle EMG examination showed evidence of chronic motor axonal loss and reduced recruitment in the ulnar-innervated intrinsic hand muscles, and
• If electrophysiologic evidence of severe motor axonal loss with motor unit number estimation (MUNE) greater than 2 standard deviations below the normative mean.

You may not qualify if…

• Patients were excluded if they had concurrent nerve injury, prior surgery for CuTS or coexisting neurologic conditions
