What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate the outcomes of surgically treated acute traumatic peripheral nerve injuries in the upper extremity, focusing on their long-term effects on sensory and motor functions, overall functional status, and quality of life. The study observes patients with nerve damage resulting from trauma to the nervous system, particularly injuries involving the median, ulnar, radial nerves, or combinations of these. Participants will undergo standard clinical and functional assessments to monitor the status of their nerve injuries. These assessments include evaluating motor and sensory functions and overall hand functionality without being assigned to a specific treatment. The study observes different nerve injury types such as ulnar nerve, median nerve, or combined injuries. During the study, participants will be evaluated at six months after injury using tools like the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire to assess hand function, grip strength measured by a dynamometer, Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test for sensation, and static two-point discrimination test. The study period involves regular clinical and functional evaluations to track recovery and impact on quality of life over time.
