About this study

Official title: A Longitudinal Study of Function and Participation in Patients With Stroke: An Integrated Brain Imaging and Biomechanical Analysis

A longitudinal study of function and participation in patients with stroke: An integrated brain imaging and biomechanical analysis

Read the detailed description

Brain damage may lead to various motor deficits, which further influence the function and participation. Cerebral vascular accident (CVA) is the common disorder for acquired brain damage. Neural network in patients with brain damage could also be used to determine their clinical behavior by identifying altered neural network associated with behavioral improvement. The investigators hypothesize that the level of brain image and biomechanical will change with time in patients with stroke. Under this hypothesis, the measures of biomechanical change are correlated with neural changes. The aim of this study is to investigate the function and participation in patients with stroke evaluated by clinical measures, biomechanical, psychological, physiological and multimodal brain image. The primary goal of this study is to establish, evaluate and follow-up biomechanical- and image-based biomarkers for the impairment of function and participation information processing present in patients with stroke.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 5 Oct 2016. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Contact Chia-Ling Chen, MD, PhD (+886-3-3281200 ext. 8148, clingchen@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline of biomechanical measurement for Healthy adult and patients with stroke in 6 months and 12 months (time frame: baseline, 6 months, 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 5 Oct 2016.
