About this study

Official title: Changes of White Matter Integrity According to BDNF Genotype During Motor Recovery After Stroke

The aim of this study was to investigate differential plastic changes of fractional anisotropy (FA) in the corticospinal tract (CST), the intrahemispheric corticocortical tract from the primary motor cortex to ventral premotor cortex (M1PMv) and the corpus callosum (CC) from 2 weeks to 3 months after stroke according to BDNF genotype.

Read the detailed description

The aims of this study were to investigate plastic changes in the fractional anisotropy (FA) of three motor-related white matter fibers according to the BDNF genotype from 2 weeks to 3 months after stroke onset; one is a the majority of fibers from M1 to medullary oblongata (CST), another is the intrahemispheric connection from M1 to ventral premotor cortex (M1PMv), and the other is the interhemispheric connection between bilateral M1s (CC). There were also to investigate the relationships between motor impairment and tract-related FA of white matter tracts in each BDNF genotype

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Sep 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 South Korea. 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?

Fractional anisotropy (time frame: 2 weeks to 3 months after stroke onset). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03647787, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Sep 2019.
