Clinical Trial: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study Evaluating Avive+ Soft Tissue Matrix for Prevention of Superficial Radial Nerve Morbidity Following Radial Forearm Free Flap Harvest

U.S., May 1 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07558096) titled 'A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study Evaluating Avive+ Soft Tissue Matrix for Prevention of Superficial Radial Nerve Morbidity Following Radial Forearm Free Flap Harvest' on April 23.

Brief Summary: Radial forearm free flap (RFFF) reconstruction is commonly used for head and neck defects but is associated with donor-site morbidity, including neuropathic pain and sensory disturbance. This randomized controlled pilot study evaluates whether placement of a soft tissue matrix over the superficial radial nerve at the donor site reduces neuropathic pain and improves sensory outcomes compared to standard closure alone.
