About this study

Official title: Diffusion Tensor Imaging to Judge the Prognosis of Patients With Diffuse Axonal

The investigators will examine 15 patients who was firstly diagnosed as diffuse axonal injury and 15 patients negative for magnetic resonance examination with no trauma with DTI(diffusion tensor imaging). The investigators then determine the FA(fractional anisotropy)value and the ADC(apparent diffusion coefficient) value of relational interesting area(corpus callosum、brainstem、basal ganglia)to analyse the correlation between the FA(fractional anisotropy)value and ADC(apparent diffusion coefficient) value and GCS(Glasgow Coma Scale) and coma time,so that the investigators can quantify the damage degree of patients' white matter fiber.By using fiber tractography the investigators can have the extent of recovery of the patient of DAI(diffuse axonal injury) in real-time detection and give guidance for the clinical decision and the judgement of prognosis).

The investigators will examine 15 patients who was firstly diagnosed as diffuse axonal injury and 15 patients negative for magnetic resonance examination with no trauma with DTI(diffusion tensor imaging). The investigators then determine the FA(fractional anisotropy)value and the ADC(apparent diffusion coefficient) value of relational interesting area(corpus callosum、brainstem、basal ganglia)to analyse the correlation between the FA(fractional anisotropy)value and ADC(apparent diffusion coefficient) value and GCS(Glasgow Coma Scale) and coma time,so that the investigators can quantify the damage degree of patients' white matter fiber.At the same time the investigators rebuild the white matter fiber tract(corpus callosum 、corticospinal tract、optic radiation) of patients using diffusion tensor tractography so that the investigators can judge intuitively the extent of damage and recovery. The investigators Trace the repair of nerve fibers after treatment and guide the further treatment.This trial can exactly determine the relationship between the FA(fractional anisotropy)value and ADC(apparent diffusion coefficient) value in relational interesting area and the extent of damage in patient of DAI(diffuse axonal injury).Meanwhile the trial confirms that the DTI(diffusion tensor imaging) can exactly judge the prognosis of DAI(diffuse axonal injury).Obviously by using fiber tractography the investigators can have the extent of recovery of the patient of DAI(diffuse axonal injury) in real-time detection and give guidance for the clinical decision and the judgement of prognosis).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diffuse Axonal Injury, run by Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.

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 1 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 2 Aug 2016. 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?

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?

Change in FA(fractional anisotropy) (time frame: Change from FA(fractional anisotropy) within 2 weeks). 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 2 Aug 2016.
