About this study

Official title: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study to Explore the Mechanism and the Efficacy and Safety of Jianpi Yishen Huatan Granule for Cognitive Impairment After Acute Cerebral Infarction

The purpose of this study is to explore the pathogenesis of cognitive impairment after acute cerebral infarction by applying the multimodal function MRI to dynamically observe the changes of the value of NAA,Cho,Cr,FA in a certain region in the brain and the function of the brain ,and to provide a visual instrument for evaluating the therapeutical effects of Chinese medicine through the application of multimodal function MRI to observe the changes of the neurotransmitter in certain area in the brain before and after the treatment.

Read the detailed description

The present study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of Jianpi Yishen Huatan granules with cognitive impairment after Acute Cerebral Infarction by fMRI and neuropsychology scales,as well as observe the symptoms,syndrome characteristics and neuropsychological changes of patients with cognitive dysfunction after acute cerebral infarction.And explore the pathogenesis of cognitive impairment after acute cerebral infarction by applying the multimodal function MRI to dynamically observe the changes of the value of NAA,Cho,Cr,FA in a certain region in the brain and the function of the brain ,and to provide a visual instrument for evaluating the therapeutical effects of Chinese medicine through the application of multimodal function MRI to observe the changes of the neurotransmitter in certain area in the brain before and after the treatment.

The sample size is 40 of which 20 are from the intervention group and 20 are from the control group.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes of the fMRI outcome after the treatment

    Using the fMRI to measure the changes of neurotransmitter and brain function in the brain before and after the treatment.

    Measured: 90 days

  2. Mini-mental state examination(MMSE)

    MMSE is an acknowledged scale to measure cognition function from the aspects of orientation ability, memory, attention, calculation ability, recall and language,etc.

    Measured: 90 days

  3. Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale(MoCA)

    Using this scale to measure cognitive function

    Measured: 90 days

  4. Stroop Color- Word Association Test(Stroop test)

    This is a test used to find out the memory and executive function of patients.The test contains three small test.

    Measured: 90 days

  5. Numerical sequence test(DS-S)

    Using Numerical sequence test(DS-S) to examine memory

    Measured: 90 days

  6. Digital color connection test (CCT)

    Using Digital color connection test (CCT) to examine executive function and attention

    Measured: 90 days

  7. Verbal memory test(HVLT)

    Using Verbal memory test(HVLT) to examine verbal memory

    Measured: 90 days

  8. Clinical Dementia Rating scale(CDR)

    Using Clinical Dementia Rating scale(CDR) to measure the severity of dementia

    Measured: 90 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. National institute of health stroke scale

    Using National institute of health stroke scale to measure the severity of stroke

    Measured: 90 days

  2. Modified Rankin scale

    Using Modified Rankin scale to measure the recovery of neurological function

    Measured: 90 days

  3. Activity of Daily Living Scale

    Using this scale to measure daily living ability

    Measured: 90 days

  4. Scores of Chinese medicine symptoms

    Scores of Chinese medicine symptoms, which is a scale resulted from literature research, the argumentation of experts and clinical observation,contain 23 items of the core symptoms of cognitive impairment. And the scale is used to measure the changes of symptoms of Chinese medicine before and after treatment.

    Measured: 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Jianpi Yishen Huatan Granules in people with Cognitive Impairment, run by Dongfang Hospital Beijing University of Chinese Medicine at 1 site in China.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Feb 2019. 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 China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 Yunling Zhang, PhD,MD (+86 10 6768963, yunlingzhang2004@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes of the fMRI outcome after the treatment (time frame: 90 days). The study lists 8 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 26 Feb 2019.
