What participants receive

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

  • Respiratory Impedance (RI)Other

    A non-invasive respiratory device is employed to generate resistance during the inspiratory phase of respiration.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in CBF that occurs during RI, as measured by diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) with a sampling frequency of 5 Hz

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Reports of any of the following: shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, or hypoxia

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in MFV as measured by transcranial doppler (TCD), during RI

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Change in mean arterial pressure (MAP,) during RI

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Change in end-tidal carbon dioxide (CO2), during RI

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Time to maximum CBF effect after the introduction of RI

    Measured: Baseline

  5. Change in National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) (admission vs discharge)

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Respiratory Impedance (RI) in people with Stroke, run by University of Pennsylvania at 1 site in United States.

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 18 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Feb 2024. 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 United States. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 CBF that occurs during RI, as measured by diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) with a sampling frequency of 5 Hz (time frame: Baseline). 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 20 Feb 2024.
