Workshop for healing writing after paralysis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a structured writing workshop can help people living with paralysis and their ALS caregivers. It focuses on communication through words (spoken or written) to support well-being.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older and live in the community (not in long-term care)
- You have paralysis in an arm or leg from an injury or a nervous system condition
- Your paralysis began after childhood (not since birth)
- You can communicate verbally or by writing
- If you have ALS, this also includes a caregiver (and they must be part of the study)
