About this study

Official title: Measurement of the Effect of Positional Changes on Cerebral Oxygenation in Preterm Infants: A Near Infrared Spectroscopy Study

Near infrared spectroscopy offers the possibility of noninvasive and continuous bedside investigation of cerebral oxygenation in newborn infants. Using this technique we investigated the effect of positional changes on cerebral oxygenation in preterm infants.

Read the detailed description

The changes in cerebral perfusion have an important role on the development of intraventricular hemorrhage and periventricular leucomalacia. Near infrared spectroscopy offers the possibility of noninvasive and continuous bedside investigation of cerebral oxygenation in newborn infants. Using this technique we investigated the effect of positional changes on cerebral oxygenation in preterm infants.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Device: near infrared spectroscopy: INVOS 5100Device

    Also called invos 5100

    NIRS device used in this study, the optical field includes a volume of tissue approximately 2 cm deep to the surface probe with a 4-mm source-detector distance, and thus, organ-specific monitoring is feasible in small patients. With informed consent, we applied NIRS probes to the forehead and the lower extremity for cerebral (rSO2C) and peripheric (rSO2P) regional oxygen saturation measurements.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Device: near infrared spectroscopy: INVOS 5100 and invos 5100 in people with pOSitional Changes of Premature Infants, run by Zekai Tahir Burak Women's Health Research and Education Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2 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 9 Aug 2011. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

The effect of positional changes on cerebral oxygenation in preterm infants (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01255189, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Aug 2011.
