Robotic Hand Orthosis Providing Grasp Assistance for Patients With Brachial Plexus Injuries
NCT04939233 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The proposed research, the development of an innovative robotic hand orthosis with intelligent grasping control, is relevant to public health as it will restore a large measure of functionality to the paralyzed hand of a person who has suffered a brachial plexus injury. The proposed orthosis will utilize novel technology that will result in a device that is compact, portable, dexterous, and intuitively controllable while overcoming the disadvantages of previously developed orthoses that rendered them difficult to use. The restoration of functionality to ones hands will significantly improve their quality of life as well as their ability to again participate in the workforce and complete dexterous activities in their daily lives.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04939233
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04939233 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 3 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Carilion Clinic, which has 45 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Brachial Plexus Injury appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Exoskeleton glove is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04939233 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Virginia. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
