Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

International Standards for Neurological Classification of SCI (The initial assessment was conducted at admission to the rehabilitation ward, and follow-up assessments were performed at 1-month intervals from the time of onset until discharge.)

Key secondary outcomes

[MRI Findings]
MRI images acquired immediately after injury will be used for analysis.
[Physical Function Assessment: Assessment timing is the same as the primary outcomes]
Spinal Cord Independence Measure III (SCIM-III), Functional Independence Measure (FIM), modified Frankel classification, tendon reflexes (patellar tendon, Achilles tendon, Hoffmann, Babinski), clonus (ankle and knee joints), Modified Ashworth Scale (hip flexion/extension/abduction/adduction, knee flexion/extension, ankle dorsiflexion/plantarflexion), 10-meter walking test (10MWT), Timed Up and Go test (TUG), Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN4), PainDETECT, Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI), Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS).

Other

Other related information

This is an observational study with no specific intervention. Rehabilitation programs are individually tailored based on each patient's functional status and conducted as part of standard clinical care, and therefore variability in treatment content may influence the results. This is a multicenter collaborative study, and variability in assessment methods and rehabilitation practices across institutions may affect the findings. Assessments will be conducted according to a standardized protocol as much as possible. Furthermore, as this study includes exploratory analyses, further validation is required.
