Trial summary

The primary objective of the present randomized controlled trial is to compare the effectiveness of three anti-smoking interventions of different intensities. It has been hypothesised that early follow-up visits facilitate post-stroke smoking cessation in patients hospitalized because of first-ever ischemic stroke. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Smoking Cessation Interventions of Different Intensities in Patients With First Ever Ischemic Stroke.

The primary objective of the present randomized controlled trial is to compare the effectiveness of three anti-smoking interventions of different intensities. It has been hypothesised that early follow-up visits facilitate post-stroke smoking cessation in patients hospitalized because of first-ever ischemic stroke.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND: It is well known, that continued smoking after stroke increases the risk of death and stroke recurrence within a few years after the first stroke. Searching for more efficient methods of antismoking interventions is therefore justified.

OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of the present study is to compare the effectiveness of three anti-smoking interventions of different intensities.

DESIGN: Randomized, controlled trial.

METHODS: Study participants will be recruited among patients of neurological clinics of Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology, hospitalized because of their first in a lifetime ischemic stroke. All stroke patients will be screened regarding their smoking status. The subjects will be patients smoking cigarettes immediately before their first-ever stroke, able to understand the research protocol procedures and able to cooperate during the investigation.

Antismoking interventions will be based on the "5A's" method. Study participants will be randomized to one of three interventions differing in follow-up intensity.

What participants receive

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

  • Antismoking intervention with no early follow-upBehavioural

    an anti-smoking intervention in line with the "5A's" method without early follow-up; follow-up assessment will be limited to two visits: 3 and 12 months after stroke

  • Antismoking intervention with minimal early follow-upBehavioural

    Anti-smoking intervention in line with the "5A's" method (Ask, Advice, Assess, Assist, Arrange follow-up. The intervention will be carried out 5-7 days after stroke, before the planned discharge from the hospital. Seven days after discharge from a stroke unit a brief telephone/personal advice will be given aimed to motivate patients to quit smoking; follow-up assessment will include two visits: 3 and 12 months after stroke

  • Antismoking intervention with intensive early follow-upBehavioural

    an anti-smoking intervention in line with the "5A's" method will be given, including four follow-up visits within 6 weeks after discharge from the hospital (week 1, week 2, week 4, week 6 after stroke); follow-up assessment will include two visits: 3 and 12 months after stroke

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Antismoking intervention with no early follow-up, Antismoking intervention with minimal early follow-up and Antismoking intervention with intensive early follow-up in people with Ischemic Stroke, run by Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology, Warsaw at 1 site in Poland.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2013. 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 Poland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Smoking cessation rate (time frame: 12 months). 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 15 May 2013.
