About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
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.
The group in the trial
- No Treatment Given
Any male or female 18 years or older admitted to a NACTN hospital, at the time of injury, with an initial (first time) spinal cord injury caused by trauma and has paralysis (muscle weakness) or loss of sensation (touch). The patient has not received medical or surgical care for this injury prior to admission to a NACTN hospital. Patient or family member must give consent to participate.
