Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary endpoint of the study is the neurological examination 3 months after surgery. The muscle strength of the muscles innervated by the affected nerve is determined and classified according to the MRC scale (force grade 0-5). The degree of muscle strength is examined manually. Furthermore, pain in the innervation area of the affected nerve is queried and sensory disturbances are recorded. It is a routine neurological examination after surgery of an injured peripheral nerve.	—
