Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age 18 years and older
  • Diagnosis of acute traumatic peripheral nerve injury of the upper extremity (median, ulnar, radial, or combined injuries)
  • Injury requiring surgical or conservative management
  • Ability to provide informed consent

Exclusion criteria

  • History of previous peripheral nerve injury or surgery in the affected upper extremity
  • Presence of central nervous system disorders affecting upper extremity function
  • Severe concomitant musculoskeletal injuries preventing functional assessment
  • Inability to complete clinical and functional evaluations

Treatment and study plan

Peripheral Nerve Injury Assessment

Other

Standard clinical and functional assessment of acute traumatic peripheral nerve injuries, including motor, sensory, and functional outcome evaluations, without assignment to a specific therapeutic intervention.

Primary outcomes

  1. Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) Total Score - Injured Hand

    Time frame: 6 months after injury

    Patient-reported hand outcomes assessed with the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) for the injured hand. Total score range: 0-100; higher scores indicate better hand-related outcomes.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Grip Strength of Injured Hand (Jamar Dynamometer)

    Time frame: 6 months after injury

    Grip strength of the injured hand measured using a Jamar dynamometer (kg). Mean of 3 trials; higher values indicate greater strength.

  2. Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test Threshold - Injured Hand

    Time frame: 6 months after injury

    Cutaneous pressure threshold assessed using Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments in the injured hand. Reported as monofilament level (or gram-force, if applicable); lower values indicate better sensation.

  3. Static Two-Point Discrimination - Injured Hand

    Time frame: 6 months after injury

    Static two-point discrimination measured in millimeters (mm) in the injured hand; lower values indicate better discrimination.
