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 18 to 85 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: patients hospitalized in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) units of Dijon and Besançon CHU, and the Functional Rehabilitation Centres of Divio (Dijon) and Bregille (Besançon)

Who may be able to join

  • Patients benefiting from classical rehabilitation following cardiovascular accident (cerebral infarction or spontaneous intracerebral hematoma) according to current recommendations (conference de consensus sur l'orientation des patients atteints d'AVC des societes Françaises de Medecine Physique et Readaptation (MPR), d'Urgence Neuro-Vasculaire et de Geriatrie et Gerontologie), hospitalized in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) units of Dijon and Besançon CHU, and the Functional Rehabilitation Centres of Divio (Dijon) and Bregille (Besançon)
  • Age between 18 and 85 years.
  • Etiological examination carried out according to current recommendations (CT scan and/or MRI, Holter ECG and Holter blood pressure, Doppler of the supra-aortic trunks, echocardiography).
  • Patients referred to the PMR unit less than one month after the cerebral vascular accident.
  • Clinical status considered stable from a cardiovascular and neurological point of view with a well-balanced medical treatment (anti-hypertensives, anti-coagulants or antiplatelets, oral antidiabetics if necessary)
  • Patients able to understand the instructions and the interest of retraining.
  • Patients who have provided written informed consent for the study.

Who cannot join

  • Existence of disorders associated with hemiplegic motor impairment: disorders of memory and superior functions (MMSE < 24) and impaired ability to understand (BDAE <3), deep sensitivity disorders, severe unilateral neglect (bells test).
  • Patients referred following meningeal hemorrhage or deep vein thrombosis
  • Recurrent stroke, whatever the severity of the sequelae of the previous stroke.
  • Existence of cerebellar involvement as a major aspect of the clinical picture
  • Myocardial infarction or heart surgery within the preceding 6 months.
  • Severe heart failure (NYHA >3 or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <40%).
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Subjects presenting with complete non-stabilized arrhythmia
  • Any metabolic, infectious, inflammatory, respiratory or cardiovascular disease that is not stabilized or constitutes a contra indication to retraining (chronic respiratory insufficiency (obstructive or restrictive), severe valve disease, obstructive heart disease, severe progressive heart rhythm or conduction disorders, intracavitary thrombus.
  • Symptomatic peripheralartery disease (Leriche and Fontaine stage 3 or 4).
  • Any other debilitating neurological disease (multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease).
  • Participation in another biomedical research protocol during the retraining period (8 weeks minimum)
  • Patients under guardianship or ward of court.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01907451
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
The control groupwill receive support "traditional"10 hours per week: techniques called neuro-facilitators
test groupenjoy the same support as control group at 7 hours week, coupled with a personalized retraining effort ergometer for 3 hours per week: after a 5 minute warm to 50% of Heart Rate Maximum (HRmax) of the initial test effort (TE), continuous work of 20 minutes at an intensity corresponding to 70% HRmax, followed by a recovery period of 5 min between active 40 and 50% of maximum heart rate (5 times per week).

What is being measured

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

  1. Neuromotor capacity

    The walking speed of 10 meters.

    • The level of disability by the scale of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) - Functional walking ability, assessed clinically by Functional Ambulation Classification (FAC), as amended to Month 2 and Month 6.
    • The ability to balance by static posturography: a collection of the path length not the center of the plantar pressure stabilogram.

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 12 months

  2. functional capacity

    The walking speed of 10 meters.

    • The level of disability by the scale of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) - Functional walking ability, assessed clinically by Functional Ambulation Classification (FAC), as amended to Month 2 and Month 6.
    • The ability to balance by static posturography: a collection of the path length not the center of the plantar pressure stabilogram.

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon.

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 7 inclusion and 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2013. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Neuromotor capacity (time frame: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Jul 2013.
