New surgery aims to stop spinal cord damage after injury
NCT ID NCT06243211
Summary
This small pilot study is testing whether a specific surgical technique can help minimize additional damage to the spinal cord after a traumatic injury. The surgery involves making a small opening in the spinal cord lining and sometimes adding a nerve graft to relieve pressure and swelling. Researchers will enroll 10 adults with recent severe spinal cord injuries to see if the procedure is safe and feasible, and to gather early data on whether it might improve patient independence and neurological function.
