New MRI scan to see nerve damage from birth-related arm injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 14 and 30 years old.
- You have a brachial plexus injury that happened during birth (this affects the nerves in the arm).
- Your injury has not been treated with surgery yet.
- You do not have other bone or nerve problems that are not related to this injury.
- You are not pregnant, and you have no metal implants or other reasons that prevent an MRI scan.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study tests whether sensory integration therapy helps young children with a brachial plexus injury (nerve damage in the arm from birth) improve their development. It may be a good option for children who have not had other therapies recently and do not have other major health issues.
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 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 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 trial tests whether early injections of botulinum toxin into a baby’s arm muscles can prevent the shoulder from changing shape in infants with obstetrical brachial plexus palsy (OBPP). It also checks that the injections are safe and effective over time.
