Summary

The NCTT is a prospective, multicenter, observational research network for subjects with chronic spinal cord and/or chronic traumatic brain injury.

Detailed description

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.
