CCSRM-supported Study on Sensory Reinnervation Featured on the Cover of JCM
How can targeted sensory reinnervation restore genuine sensation and body awareness in forearm amputees? A groundbreaking study led by Alexander Gardetto and co-authored by Dr. Ortrun Neuper, Head of our Clinical Center for Studies in Regenerative Medicine, provides cutting-edge insights into this very question. Focusing on the upper limb Targeted Sensory Reinnervation (ulTSR) technique, the study explores a promising strategy to treat phantom limb and neuropathic pain.
The publication, titled “Restoration of Genuine Sensation and Proprioception of Individual Fingers Following Transradial Amputation with Targeted Sensory Reinnervation as a Mechanoneural Interface,” has been published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine (MDPI). From among 361 submissions in the upcoming volume, our paper was selected to be featured on the cover page.
The study was supported by our Clinical Center for Studies in Regenerative Medicine (CCSRM), led by Ortrun Neuper. The CCSRM is dedicated to advancing regenerative approaches and integrating cutting-edge research with clinical practice. Under Dr. Neuper’s leadership, the center has been instrumental in developing transformative projects that improve patient care and outcomes in the field of trauma and regenerative medicine.
