Clinical Trial to Assess the Safety of a Novel Scaffold Biomaterial

A Clinical Trial to Assess the Safety of a Novel Scaffold Biomaterial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This is safety study. Subjects will be undergoing the surgical procedure of nerve biopsy. After routine surgery without grafting, patients develop swelling, redness, tenderness and dysesthesia at the biopsy site. In order to determine whether grafting is safe compared to not repairing the nerve, it is necessary to compare treated vs. untreated patients using systematic, sensitive and reproducible criteria.
