RECRUITING

Evaluating Therapeutic Electrical Stimulation to Improve Nerve Healing After Surgical Repair of Digital Nerve Injuries

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate if a period of electrical stimulation delivered during the surgical repair procedure can speed up nerve healing.
