NCT ID NCT07448883
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is translating a widely used spinal cord function test, called the mJOA score, into Turkish. Researchers will check if the new Turkish version is accurate and reliable by testing it on 70 adults with cervical myelopathy, a condition that can affect movement and sensation. The goal is to give Turkish doctors a standard tool to better assess and treat this condition.
