Dr. Rahul Nath has treated nerve-injured patients from all 50 states and over 30 countries. He founded the Texas Nerve and Paralysis Institute in 2004 with the goal of making it the best such organization in the world.
“To date, we have established a clinical, academic, and research center that consistently aims for high quality in the area of peripheral nerve injury,” he says. “Our mission is to improve the quality of life for our patients through direct clinical care and basic science research. We have organized national and international outreach clinics to help with this goal.”
The Texas Nerve and Paralysis Institute employs several researchers who perform basic science and clinical outcome research. A patented synthetic DNA molecule to block scar production is in development and should allow improvements in the outcome of nerve and other injuries within the next few years.  Dr. Nath has also received a patent for a nerve repair device. During his 13 years of practice, he has pioneered and improved surgical techniques. Dr. Nath is widely published and recently wrote the first textbook on management of brachial plexus injuries in children. He was profiled by People magazine and CNN for surgery he performed on an Iraqi child.
