Intraoperative Peripheral Nerve Stimulation
Sponsor: Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Summary
The purpose of this research study is to find out if using direct electrical stimulation during surgery is safe and helpful for people with nerve problems caused by compressed nerves.

Conditions
Interventions
Nerve Root Electrical Stimulation
in addition to standard of care surgical decompression will receive 10 minutes of electrical stimulation at an amplitude of 2 mA with the Checkpoint nerve stimulator to the nerve root at the time of decompressive surgery
Peripheral Nerve Electrical Stimulation
in addition to standard of care surgical decompression will receive 10 minutes of electrical stimulation at an amplitude of 2 mA with the Checkpoint nerve stimulator to the peripheral nerve at the time of decompressive surgery
Standard Treatment - Nerve Root
standard surgical treatment when undergoing spine surgery for decompression of the nerve root
Standard Treatment - Peripheral Nerve
standard surgical treatment when undergoing peripheral nerve decompression in an upper extremity
