Summary

The SCIentinel-prolong study systematically analyzes humoral autoantibody responses and thier interaction with post-spinal cord injury (SCI) immune-deficiency and infections as well as their association with the clinical course of rehabilitation. Therefore, molecular and immunological tests in blood and cerebrospinal fluid specimen are combined with clinical outcomes ranging from neurological function, neuropathic pain and spasticity to walking tests and measures of independence in daily living within the first year after SCI. Including a control group with participants suffering from vertebral fractures without SCI allows to differentiate between neurological and general injury and treatment effects.
