About this study

The purpose of this project is to determine during moderate rise of intracranial pressure (ICP) in awake patient, the change in autonomic function and its influence on cerebral and systemic haemodynamics.

Read the detailed description

From preliminary data, we know that changes in ICP influences both systemic and cerebral haemodynamics, introducing the concept of intracranial baroreflex We have to i) confirm the presence of this intracranial baroreflex, ii) analyze the changes in autonomic function during moderate rise in intracranial pressure (ICP) in human, and iii) correlate the changes in cerebral and systemic haemodynamics with autonomic function.

What participants receive

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

  • InfusionOther

    Infusion studies are performed in daily clinical routine to measure cerebrospinal fluid resistance outflow. During this test ICP is slowly and securely raised. Investigators plan to analyze what are the consequences of this ICP rise in terms of autonomic system and hemodynamics.

Study groups in NCT01776801
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
HydrocephalusExperimentalPatients suffering of hydrocephalus (cognitive impairment, gait disturbance, urinary incontinence and enlargement of the ventricles) require for clinical purpose infusion studies i.e. injection of mock cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the sub arachnoid space to artificially increase ICP. We aim at using infusion studies as a indirect tool to assess whether a moderate increase in ICP has any influence on haemodynamics.
Receives: Other: Infusion

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. change in sympathetic nerve activity after rise in ICP

    Assessment of autonomic neural function using.

    1. microneurography to assess the muscle sympathetic nerve activity
    2. measurement of the plasma level changes of noradrenaline
    3. power spectral analysis of heart rate and arterial blood pressure

    Measured: within few minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. change in hemodynamics after rise in ICP

    Assessment of haemodynamics

    1. Cerebral haemodynamics. using Transcranial doppler
    2. Systemic haemodynamics measured with photoplethysmography

    Measured: within few minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Infusion in people with Increased Intracranial Pressure Disorders, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 3 sites in France.

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 2 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 25 Feb 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. 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 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?

change in sympathetic nerve activity after rise in ICP (time frame: within few minutes). 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 25 Feb 2013.
