Nerve Transfer Surgery to Restore Upper-limb Function After Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

NCT05638191 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Last updated 2022-12-06

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this prospective, open label cohort study is to assess functional and motor outcomes in individuals with cervical spinal cord injury who have undergone nerve transfer surgery, with the goal of increasing upper limb function. We will also compare these outcomes to a cohort of similarly matched individuals who have not undergone nerve transfer surgery, using robust outcome measures, rigorous pre-operative clinical and neurophysiological assessments, and standardized rehabilitation. At the end of this project we aim to develop a model for predicting nerve transfer outcomes using pre-operative clinical and neurophysiological characteristics.
