Sponsored by The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston · Observational
The NCTT is a prospective, multicenter, observational research network for subjects with chronic spinal cord and/or chronic traumatic brain injury.
Current treatment for Spinal Cord Injury and Traumatic Brain Injury focuses on stabilizing the patient and preventing secondary injury with the aim of maximizing the best chance of recovery. Most patients will show varying amounts of recovery, but, when the injury is severe, that recovery is only partial. Enrollment in the NCTT will allow for classification and characterization of injury, function, co-morbidities, secondary issues/problems, research interests and will serve as a conduit for enrollment into interventional studies.
1,948 studies on the registry are indexed under Spinal Cord Injuries; 505 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 5,000 is above the median of 60 across 323 observational studies indexed under Spinal Cord Injuries.
