Research Methodology & Design Research

KEY FINDING: Lack of patient-and-family-centered education was a significant barrier, with subthemes including insufficient information, inadequate education, and wrong attitudes towards disability.

KEY FINDING: Participants discussed challenges with taking photographs, but they enjoyed participating, appreciated inclusion, and hoped the information they provided would help others with disabilities.

KEY FINDING: The study identified one hundred and twenty-nine researchable clinical questions in TBI and SCI. These questions were then prioritised into high (n = 60) and low (n = 69) importance by the stakeholders involved in question development.

KEY FINDING: The NDD was implemented successfully at all eight centers after some adaptations were made to the ISCIDS, especially to the core data set.

KEY FINDING: Larger placebo responses were observed in male subjects with SCI-related neuropathic pain.

KEY FINDING: Men with degenerative spinal disease had significantly longer rehabilitation stays than women.

KEY FINDING: Proximally transected RAs regenerated more extensively than distally transected RAs, suggesting a correlation between regenerative capacity and proximity to the cell body.

KEY FINDING: The projected median age of persons with tSCI in 2032 is 57, with those 61 and older accounting for 46% of injuries.

KEY FINDING: The patient presented with a T12 schwannoma accompanied by an intratumoral hematoma, experiencing sudden and unbearable pain in the lower limbs.

KEY FINDING: Functional assays are crucial for assessing the molecular and physiological effects of EV preparations on target cells, organoids, organs, or organisms.
