Blood test may predict spinal injury recovery

NCT ID NCT06839300

First seen Mar 06, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study is looking at whether two proteins in the blood, called NF-L and GFAP, can help doctors predict how much a person will recover after a spinal cord injury. Researchers will take blood samples from 260 people with spinal cord injuries and compare the protein levels to their recovery six months later. The goal is to see if these blood tests can give an early and accurate picture of the injury's severity.
