About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Thiol/Disulfide Homeostasis and Ischemia Modified Albumin Levels in the Differential Diagnosis of Central and Peripheral Vertigo

Vertigo is a common complaint in the Emergency Department (ED). The differential diagnosis of central and peripheral vertigo is a difficult issue that directly affects mortality. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred diagnostic tool, but may not be suitable in all patients due to logistic and economic conditions. In this study, the investigators evaluated the role of thiol/disulfide homeostasis (TDH) parameters and ischemia modified albumin (IMA) levels to assist in the value of being used instead of MRI.

Read the detailed description

The study was conducted in the ED using a prospective, non-randomized method, and included patients with complaints of acute onset vertigo over 18 years of age and who underwent brain MRI. Pregnant women, smokers, and those with significant neurological signs were excluded. Patients with acute ischemia with MRI were included in the central vertigo group, and patients with normal MRI were included in the peripheral vertigo group. Blood samples for native thiol (NT), total thiol (TT), disulfide, and IMA were collected from all patients at admission. Statistical analyzes were performed with IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows 16.0 Package Program.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT04070664
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Central vertigoPatients without any pathology on MRI were included in the peripheral vertigo group, and patients whose scans demonstrated acute ischemic infarct in the posterior fossa were included in the central vertigo group.
Peripheral vertigoPatients without any pathology on MRI were included in the peripheral vertigo group, and patients whose scans demonstrated acute ischemic infarct in the posterior fossa were included in the central vertigo group.

What is being measured

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

  1. Oxidative stress

    Thiol/disulphide homeostasis

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Ischemic status

    Ischemia modified albumin

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vertigo, Peripheral and Vertigo, Central Origin, run by Ankara City Hospital Bilkent at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2 inclusion and 10 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 28 Aug 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Oxidative stress (time frame: 6 months). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04070664, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 28 Aug 2019.
