Blood test may predict spinal injury recovery

NCT ID NCT06839300

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is looking at whether measuring two proteins in the blood (NF-L and GFAP) soon after a spinal cord injury can help doctors predict how severe the injury is and how much recovery a person might have 6 months later. Researchers will enroll 260 adults with traumatic spinal cord injuries and take blood samples daily for up to a week. The goal is to see if these blood markers can accurately tell apart people who will have a complete motor injury from those who will have some movement preserved.
