Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interfaces to Treat Painful Digit and Hand Neuromas After Amputation: A Randomized, Prospective Study

Abstract

This study investigates the surgical treatment of painful neuromas in finger or partial hand amputation patients through the use of Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interfaces (RPNIs). Patients are randomized to RPNI surgery or control standard of care surgery (traction neurectomy). The primary objectives of this project are to use RPNIs following excision of finger or hand neuromas to significantly reduce the experience of post-amputation pain, opioid dependence, and associated limitations in health and function as compared to control surgery. To date 3 subjects have been enrolled and 2 subjects have completed participation.
