Conditioning Electrical Stimulation to Improve Outcomes in Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
Sponsor: University of Alberta
Summary
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.
