Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 20 to 70 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients referred for primary elective neurosurgery were invited to participate in the study at the time of scheduling for operation

Who cannot join

  • Potential participants were excluded if they were >70 years of age
  • Required concomitant procedures other than neurosurgery

About this study

Official title: Clinical Trial Cencer, Xijing Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University

The current study is designed to clarify the neuroprotective effect of remote ischemic precondtioning on the patients underwent neurosurgery.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND: Brain ischemia and injury are commonly contributed to perioperative morbidity and mortality after neurosurgery. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a phenomenon whereby brief periods of ischemia followed by reperfusion in one organ provide systemic protection from prolonged ischemia. To investigate whether remote preconditioning protects the brain injury in patients undergoing elective neurosurgery, a randomized trial will be performed in current study.

DESIGNING Thirty patients undergoing craniotomy for supratentorial meningioma will be randomize assigned to neurosurgery with RIPC or conventional neurosurgery (control). Remote ischemic preconditioning consist of three 5-min cycles of right upper limb ischaemia, induced by an automated cuff-inflator placed on the upper arm and inflated to 200 mm Hg, with an intervening 5 min of reperfusion during which the cuff is deflated. Cerebral injury was assessed by S-100b, NSE, and neurological function scores in different time points.

EXPECTED RESULTS RIPC will reduce the incidence of cerebral injury.

CONCLUSIONS:

In patients undergoing elective craniotomy for supratentorial meningioma, RIPC reduces the incidence of postoperative cerebral injury.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing remote preconditioning in people with s100b, run by Xijing Hospital.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Dec 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

S-100b and NSE level (time frame: 7 days). 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 28 Dec 2010.
