Motivational interviewing to boost rehab in spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether motivational interviewing—a supportive conversation style—can help patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) participate more fully in their rehab therapy. If you are an adult with SCI receiving inpatient rehab at certain hospitals, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
