About this trial

Assessment of the Outcomes of Hand Nerve Injuries

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age 18 years and older

Diagnosis of acute traumatic peripheral nerve injury of the upper extremity (median, ulnar, radial, or combined injuries)

Injury requiring surgical or conservative management

Ability to provide informed consent

Disqualifiers

History of previous peripheral nerve injury or surgery in the affected upper extremity

Presence of central nervous system disorders affecting upper extremity function

Severe concomitant musculoskeletal injuries preventing functional assessment

Inability to complete clinical and functional evaluations

Trial population

The study population consists of adult patients presenting with acute traumatic peripheral nerve injuries of the upper extremity, including median, ulnar, radial, and combined nerve injuries, who are evaluated and managed at a tertiary care university hospital.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Peripheral Nerve Injury Assessment

    Other intervention

    Standard clinical and functional assessment of acute traumatic peripheral nerve injuries, including motor, sensory, and functional outcome evaluations, without assignment to a specific therapeutic intervention.

Treatment groups

100 Participants
are divided into 3 treatment groups
Group A: ulnar nerve1 intervention
Group B: median nerve1 intervention
Group C: ulnar and median1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) Total Score - Injured Hand

Patient-reported hand outcomes assessed with the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) for the injured hand. Total score range: 0-100; higher scores indicate better hand-related outcomes.

Time frame
6 months after injury

Secondary outcomes

1

Grip Strength of Injured Hand (Jamar Dynamometer)

Grip strength of the injured hand measured using a Jamar dynamometer (kg). Mean of 3 trials; higher values indicate greater strength.

Time frame
6 months after injury
2

Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test Threshold - Injured Hand

Cutaneous pressure threshold assessed using Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments in the injured hand. Reported as monofilament level (or gram-force, if applicable); lower values indicate better sensation.

Time frame
6 months after injury
3

Static Two-Point Discrimination - Injured Hand

Static two-point discrimination measured in millimeters (mm) in the injured hand; lower values indicate better discrimination.

Time frame
6 months after injury
