Trial summary

Ischemic stroke is the main cause of disability in the world. More than 70% of stroke patients show various degrees of neural function impairment. Motor rehabilitation in acute phase is beneficial for improving patient's structure and function of corticospinal tract. Read more about this study

About this study

Ischemic stroke is the main cause of disability in the world. More than 70% of stroke patients show various degrees of neural function impairment. Motor rehabilitation in acute phase is beneficial for improving patient's structure and function of corticospinal tract. However, it is difficult to obtain effective rehabilitation during the acute phase of stroke because of the insufficiency of professional rehabilitation therapists in stroke wards in China.The present study is to verify that nursing-directed rehabilitation can compensate for the shortage of professional rehabilitation therapists. Our previous study indicated that nursing-directed motor function rehabilitation provided more obvious effect on stroke patients with a weighted corticospinal tract lesion load (wCST-LL) smaller than 2ml. We assume that implementing rehabilitation nursing based on the wCST-LL can realize nursing-directed, wCST-LL-based precision motor rehabilitation during acute phase of ischemic stroke.The present study is to conduct randomized clinical trial to confirm the effect of nursing-directed precision rehabilitation for motor function in acute stroke patients grouped by wCST-LL, and to evaluate the effect of this precision rehabilitation by using functional scale, and to explore the histopathologic mechanism of the precision rehabilitation nursing by mean of neuroelectrophysiology and neuroimaging examination. This study might provide theoretical support for motor rehabilitation in patients during acute phase of stroke.

What participants receive

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

  • functional rehabilitation nursing programOther

    According to the modified Barthel index score, the patients' function was divided into four parts Level,each level has different kinds of rehabilitation nursing.

  • control groupOther

    The rehabilitation were given by the rehabilitation therapist based on the patient's condition, such as, bridge movement,limb passive motion, limb active motion,turn over,sit upw,walk, and so on.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Experimental groupExperimentalPatients in experimental group were graded with modified Barthel index score, and according to the functional score of patients, the corresponding rehabilitation method was selected for functional rehabilitation from functional rehabilitation nursing program,twice a day with 30 min each time, last 1 week.
Receives: Other: functional rehabilitation nursing program
control groupExperimentalPatients in control group were given conventional bedside rehabilitation ,twice a day with 30 min each time, last 1 week.
Receives: Other: control group

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of motor function

    use Modified Barthel scale to evaluate the change of motor function,The scale were measure the function of the stroke patients,the scale have 100 scores,the function is better if the scores were higher.

    Measured: 0 week and 1 week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change of neuroelectric physiological parameters

    use the transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to evaluate the function of Corticospinal Tract

    Measured: 0 week and 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing functional rehabilitation nursing program in people with Acute Ischemic Stroke, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of 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 5 inclusion and 2 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 12 Feb 2020. 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. 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 Jingfen Jin, Master (0571-87783887, zrjzkhl@zju.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of motor function (time frame: 0 week and 1 week). 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 NCT03702452, 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 12 Feb 2020.
