No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of nerve transfer surgery for restoring hand function as a therapy for patients with cervical spinal cord injury.

Conditions

  • Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
  • Spinal Cord Injuries
  • Traumatic Spinal Cord Compression

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Upper extremity nerve transfer surgery

Upper extremity nerve transfer surgery is a surgical procedure where axons from an intact, functioning upper extremity peripheral nerve are moved to a target muscle that demonstrates significant weakness or paralysis as a result of spinal cord injury. After allowing time for recovery from surgery and for nerve growth to occur, the patient undergoes hand/occupational therapy in order to retrain motor skills.
