New surgery offers hope for regaining arm movement in paralyzed patients

NCT ID NCT06288763

Summary

This study is testing whether a nerve transfer surgery can help restore elbow movement and arm function in people with high-level spinal cord injuries in their neck. Researchers will observe 30 participants who undergo this standard surgical procedure, tracking their strength, independence, and quality of life for up to four years after surgery. The goal is to see if reconnecting a working nerve to a paralyzed muscle can improve people's ability to perform daily tasks and live more independently.
