Summary

This study follows 50 adults with incomplete cervical spinal cord injuries to see how well certain tests capture their recovery over 6 months. Researchers will track things like movement, sensation, and balance to find the best ways to measure improvement. The goal is to make future clinical trials more effective by knowing which assessments work best.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18-80 years, inclusive * Diagnosis of acute traumatic cervical SCI with ISNCSCI AIS Grade D or sensory deficits only within 92 hours post injury * Cervical neurological level of injury (C2-C8) * MRI, using any imaging protocols (conventional, multiparametric, or quantitative), taken according to standard of care * Presence of spinal cord compression on the MRI * Absence of biomechanical instability to the extent that would mandate stabilization surgery by the treating surgeon * Ability to provide informed consent according to the IRB/EC defined and approved procedures Exclusion Criteria: * Nontraumatic SCI * Concomitant traumatic brain injury or polytrauma that could preclude accurate or reliable assessments of the outcome assessments * Uncontrolled severe systemic diseases, preexisting neurological, musculoskeletal, or general medical conditions which could preclude accurate assessments or FUs * Individuals unable to undergo MRI
