Conditioning Electrical Stimulation to Improve Outcomes in Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome | Electrical Stimulation

Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common compression neuropathy. In severe cases, functional recovery, even with surgery, is often poor. Therefore, alternative adjunct treatments capable of increasing the speed of nerve regeneration are much needed.
