Spinal Cord Injury Registry - North American Clinical Trials Network (NCT00178724)
Spinal Cord Injury Registry - North American Clinical Trials Network for Spinal Cord Injury
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The NACTN Spinal Cord Injury Registry is a network of clinical centers collecting de-identified data from patients admitted through the Emergency Department of a NACTN center at the time of injury with an initial (first time) spinal cord injury (SCI). Information will be collected on the natural history of SCI and course of treatment through the first 12 months from the date of injury or long as medically indicated. Data collected includes imaging information from CT or MRI scans, neurological and general medical outcome and rehabilitation evaluation. No intervention is given other than standard of care for spinal cord injury, intensive monitoring and frequent follow up care.
