Decades after birth injury surgery: how do patients fare?
NCT ID NCT07655271
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows adults who had shoulder tendon transfer surgery as children for obstetric brachial plexus palsy, a nerve injury during birth. Researchers will measure pain, arm movement, strength, and social appearance anxiety in 80 participants and compare them to healthy peers. The goal is to understand long-term outcomes of this surgery, since little is known about how patients do decades later.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the long-term outcomes of shoulder tendon transfer surgery, helping doctors better counsel patients and improve surgical techniques.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly lead to new therapies. Results may not apply to all patients with brachial plexus birth palsy.
