The system contributes longitudinal data about persons with SCI to the SCI National Database. The National Database includes more than 30,000 individuals. Persons with acute injury who are enrolled in a Model System can remain in the database and contribute to our knowledge of SCI throughout their lifetime. Investigators perform approximately 300 follow-up interviews per year at Mount Sinai.The objectives of the Mount Sinai Spinal Cord Injury Model System focus on improving the quality of life of persons with SCI through:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>State-of-the-science clinical care<\/li>\n<li>Innovative research<\/li>\n<li>Multi-platform extensive dissemination of research results and other information on SCI to consumers and professionals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The comprehensive clinical program consists of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NYC Emergency Medical Services, ensuring the early and safe extrication of individuals with SCI from the injury site, pre-hospital care, and rapid transport to a trauma center<\/li>\n<li>Emergency department and acute medical\/surgical care units within the Mount Sinai Health System, including the Mount Sinai St. Luke\u2019s Trauma Center<\/li>\n<li>Comprehensive CARF-accredited SCI acute inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services taking place within a 25-bed SCI inpatient rehabilitation unit (serving 60 patients with traumatic SCI each year) and a large outpatient area. Core rehabilitation services include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, social work, peer mentoring, outreach coordination, rehabilitation psychology, therapeutic recreation, and vocational rehabilitation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The research program of the Mount Sinai Spinal Cord Injury Model System aims to improve the quality of life for SCI survivors by developing effective treatments of post-SCI secondary conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Current projects include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A local randomized clinical trial that will evaluate the <a href=\"https:\/\/labs.icahn.mssm.edu\/brycelab\/clinical-trials\/mount-sinai-spinal-cord-injury-core-program\/safety-feasibility-and-efficacy-of-transcutaneous-spinal-cord-stimulation-on-stabilizing-blood-pressure-for-acute-inpatients-with-spinal-cord-injury\/\">Safety, feasibility, and efficacy of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation on stabilizing blood pressure for acute inpatients with spinal cord injury<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Participation in three collaborative module research projects with other model systems.
