What is being measured

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

  1. with near-infrared-spectroscopy detected cerebral perfusion deficit

    Measured: 15 days after ictus

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determining a threshold value for cerebral autoregulation measured with near-infrared-spectroscopy as a predictive value for the clinical outcome

    Measured: 15 days after ictus and follow up 6 month later

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing measuring cerebral perfusion by NIRS with ICG in people with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, Aneurysmal and Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH), run by University of Cologne at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 inclusion and 11 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 22 Apr 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 Germany. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

with near-infrared-spectroscopy detected cerebral perfusion deficit (time frame: 15 days after ictus). 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 22 Apr 2013.
