Electrical stimulation for arm function after cervical spinal cord injury in veterans
In veterans with a recent cervical spinal cord injury, researchers are testing whether transcutaneous spinal stimulation (TSS) can improve arm and hand function more than the standard functional electrical stimulation (FES) during inpatient rehab.
-
Anterior suprascapular and axillary nerve blocks plus diaphragm-friendly approach for shoulder surgery
This study tests whether a diaphragm-sparing anterior suprascapular plus axillary nerve block provides pain relief for shoulder surgery as well as or better than the standard interscalene block.
-
Scapular Muscle Activation and Shoulder Performance in Migraine (observational)
This study will test how trapezius muscle activity and shoulder movement differ between adults with migraine and those without, to see if migraine affects upper body function.
-
Two ultrasound-guided infraclavicular nerve block techniques for hand and forearm surgery
This study tests whether the retroclavicular or the conventional ultrasound-guided infraclavicular nerve block works better for adults with obesity having forearm or hand surgery.
-
Combined upper-body resistance and aerobic exercise program for people treated for breast cancer
This program will test whether a combined upper-body resistance and aerobic exercise routine helps people at least 15 months after breast cancer surgery improve arm function, strength, and symptoms.
-
PNF and Kinesio Taping to Improve Hand Function After Stroke
This will test whether PNF exercises, kinesio taping, or both can improve hand function in adults with hemiplegia after stroke.
-
Evaluating a test for upper extremity exercise capacity in patients with interstitial lung disease
This study is testing a new exercise test for patients with interstitial lung disease to see if it can better measure their upper body strength and endurance compared to traditional methods.
