The National Center for Testing Treatments in Chronic Spinal Cord and 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.
