About this study

The major steps forward of the neurosciences in recent years have linked psychiatric diseases, neuropsychological symptoms and brain dysfunctions. The cerebral functioning requiring a big quantity of energy, mitochondria, essential organelles in the cellular energy processes, are at present considered as a way of research for big interest in neurology and in psychiatry. Thus, an increasing number of studies describe potential links between mitochondrial dysfunction and psychiatric symptomatology. The clinical symptomatology of children with mitochondrial cytopathy is varied. Well described neurologically and somatically, it is significantly less in its psychiatric aspects. However, psychiatric symptoms are frequently associated and this symptom has already been described in adult patients. The symptoms mainly include depressive and anxiety disorders, or even tables suggestive of psychotic disorders, which would precede the diagnosis of mitochondrial disease of 13 years on average.

Neuropsychological disorders refer to disorders of the higher functions following a cerebral anomaly (language, praxis, motricity, gnosis, visual spatial processing, memory, attention, intelligence, executive functions ...). Tests validated in French and adapted to children and adolescents can identify neuropsychological disorders in these populations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Psychiatric assessment in people with Mitochondrial Diseases, run by University Hospital, Angers at 1 site in France.

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 3 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 10 Nov 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 France. 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?

Prevalence of the psychiatric disorders in a population of children reached of mitochondrial disease (time frame: Day 1). 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 10 Nov 2020.
