Pain, arm function, and anxiety after shoulder surgery for brachial plexus palsy
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study examines pain, arm function, and social appearance anxiety in adults who had shoulder tendon transfer surgery as children for brachial plexus birth palsy. It helps understand long-term outcomes after this specific surgery.

This study tests a Turkish version of a questionnaire about how brachial plexus birth palsy (a nerve injury at birth affecting arm movement) impacts daily life. It may help people understand and communicate their symptoms better.
This trial tests if playing virtual reality games while doing dual tasks can help the brain rewire and improve arm function in children with a brachial plexus injury. It could offer a fun and engaging new approach to rehabilitation.
This study tests a training program for parents of infants with brachial plexus birth injury (a nerve injury around the shoulder that can limit arm movement). The program aims to help caregivers learn exercises to improve their baby's arm function.
This study uses ultrasound to measure the shoulder position in infants with neonatal brachial plexus palsy (weakness in the arm from birth). It aims to see if these measurements relate to how the baby uses their arm, which could help guide future treatment.
This study looks at how well the shoulder can rotate outward in children who had a muscle transfer surgery (latissimus dorsi) at least two years ago for a birth-related nerve injury. It uses MRI scans to understand movement.
This study is testing a new MRI technique to better see nerve damage in people with a birth-related arm injury. It could help doctors understand these injuries more clearly and guide treatment.
