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 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.
