About this study

Official title: A Safety Study to Evaluate Intracranial Pressure With the Utilization of High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO) Using the Vest™ on Mechanically Ventilated Neurosurgical Patients

The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in intracranial pressure (ICP) during or immediately following high frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) treatment with the Vest™ in neurosurgical subjects.

Read the detailed description

This study is a single site safety study to evaluate changes in intracranial pressure during or immediately following HFCWO treatment with the Vest™ in neurosurgical subjects with intracranial pressure monitors having normal opening pressures and ICP less than or equal to 20 mmHg. The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate changes in arterial blood gases that may result with Vest™ therapy in ventilated patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation in people with Intracranial Pressure, run by Hill-Rom at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Nov 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Intracranial pressure. The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 16 Nov 2006.
