Brief Summary

Assessment of the Outcomes of Hand Nerve Injuries

Conditions

Nerve Damage; Trauma Nervous System

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) Total Score - Injured Hand

  Patient-reported hand outcomes assessed with the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) for the injured hand. Total score range: 0-100; higher scores indicate better hand-related outcomes.

  6 months after injury

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Grip Strength of Injured Hand (Jamar Dynamometer)

  6 months after injury

• Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test Threshold - Injured Hand

  6 months after injury

• Static Two-Point Discrimination - Injured Hand

  6 months after injury

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 80 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The study population consists of adult patients presenting with acute traumatic peripheral nerve injuries of the upper extremity, including median, ulnar, radial, and combined nerve injuries, who are evaluated and managed at a tertiary care university hospital.

You may qualify if:

• Age 18 years and older
• Diagnosis of acute traumatic peripheral nerve injury of the upper extremity (median, ulnar, radial, or combined injuries)
• Injury requiring surgical or conservative management
• Ability to provide informed consent

You may not qualify if:

• History of previous peripheral nerve injury or surgery in the affected upper extremity
• Presence of central nervous system disorders affecting upper extremity function
• Severe concomitant musculoskeletal injuries preventing functional assessment
• Inability to complete clinical and functional evaluations
