Treatment for Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Norwegian University of Science and Technology, January 2008

Sponsored by: Norwegian University of Science and Technology
Information provided by: Norwegian University of Science and Technology
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00184158
  Purpose

The researchers want to find out the best treatment for cubital tunnel. The researchers establish the degree of nerve compression and then the patients are randomised to different treatment alternatives, ranging from conservative to operative treatments.

The study is performed at 5 different hospitals in Norway.


Condition Intervention Phase
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
Procedure: Conservative, simple decompression and nerve transfer
Phase II

Genetics Home Reference related topics:   Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease    hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies   

U.S. FDA Resources

Study Type:   Interventional
Study Design:   Treatment, Randomized, Open Label, Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Efficacy Study
Official Title:   Cubital Tunnel Treatment, Evaluation of Conservative and Operative Alternatives

Further study details as provided by Norwegian University of Science and Technology:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Reduction of symptoms: pain
  • paresthesia
  • weakness
  • and patient satisfaction with the treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Evaluation of the electroneurography (ENG) before and after the operation and to see if it is consistent with the patient evaluation.
