Rehabilitation data registry for spinal cord injury in Korea
Official title: A Data Collection Study for Developing a Prognostic Model in Patients With Central Nervous System Disorders: A Rehabilitation Study in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury
Run by Seoul National University Hospital · NCT07901985 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether long‑term disability and function after spinal cord injury can be predicted by combining medical and socioeconomic information gathered during and after inpatient rehabilitation.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with spinal cord injury admitted to the National Traffic Injury Rehabilitation Hospital who can understand and respond to the questionnaire, and who consent to follow‑up surveys.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients unable or unwilling to participate in follow‑ups or with conditions precluding survey participation may not benefit from the registry data.

What this trial studies
This is a prospective, single‑center observational registry enrolling people with spinal cord injury admitted for inpatient rehabilitation in Korea. Participants complete baseline assessments of daily function, mobility, quality of life, and disability, with follow‑ups at about 6 and 12 months after discharge, collecting health, service use, employment, income, and social participation data. The goal is to build a rehabilitation registry and generate foundational data to predict long‑term functional status. Data come from patient reports and physician information, with follow‑up conducted by a professional research organization. The study is the first phase of a multi‑year effort to establish a national SCI rehabilitation registry funded by the National Rehabilitation Center.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the registry could help clinicians forecast long‑term outcomes and tailor rehabilitation and resources to individual needs.
How similar studies have gone: Registries and observational cohorts in SCI have yielded insights into functional trajectories, though this specific Korea‑focused registry is developing foundational data for predictive modeling.
