About this study
Official title: SCI-CARE (Northwest Regional Spinal Cord Injury Site Specific Project)
The objective of this study is to test the effectiveness of a collaborative care approach to improving outpatient treatment for inactivity, chronic pain and depression as a way of improving overall Quality of Life for patients with SCI.
Read the detailed description
Individuals with SCI were treated by a care manager who worked in collaboration with the participant's physician to decrease pain, decrease depression symptoms, and/or to increase physical activity. This was done by collaborating on current treatments to make sure that they are being as effective as possible and by providing non-pharmacological treatments.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in Quality of Life (time frame: Baseline, 4 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Feb 2019.
