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 trial tests whether wearing a soft cast on the unaffected arm for a few weeks helps babies with a brachial plexus birth injury use their affected arm more. It may improve arm function during a key period of development.
This study uses ultrasound to measure the position of the shoulder joint in babies with a birth-related nerve injury. It aims to see if these measurements can help predict how the shoulder will develop, which might guide better treatment.
This trial studies how well the latissimus dorsi transfer surgery (moving a muscle from the back to the shoulder) helps improve outward rotation of the shoulder in children and teens with a birth-related nerve injury. It uses MRI images and movement analysis to see how the shoulder works years after the surgery.
