About this study

Official title: Clinical Implication of Prolonged Vasospasm in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

The prevalence and clinical implications of prolonged cerebral vasospasm in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage are unknown.

Read the detailed description

The prevalence and clinical importance of prolonged cerebral vasospasm (after day 21 of bleeding) in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage is unknown.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence and clinical relevance of prolonged vasospasm in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary to cerebral aneurysm.

A prospective and observational study was conducted. Adult patients with a diagnosis of subarcnoid hemorrhage CT scan or presence of blood in the cerebrospinal fluid were incorporated. Patients with vasospasm were followed daily with transcranial doppler. Those with technical impossibility to perform transcranial and pregnant Doppler were excluded. Day 0 was defined, the day of the last bleeding.

Evaluation: 1) It was considered in patients with prolonged vasospasm: whether or not it was associated with clinical manifestation (deterioration of the sensory or new neurological deficit) and 2) the magnitude of the vasospasm (mild, moderate or severe) was measured by transcranial doppler.

Being tested
transcranial doppler.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Prolonged vasospasmAdult patients with a diagnosis of subarcnoid hemorrhage CT scan or presence of blood in the cerebrospinal fluid were incorporated. Patients with vasospasm were followed daily with transcranial doppler. Prolonged vasospasm was defined for patients who persisted with vasospasm after day 21 of cerebral bleeding.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: transcranial doppler.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical implication

    Presence or not of neurological symptoms related to intracranial vasospasm (delayed cerebral ischemia)

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Gravity of vasospasm by transcranial doppler

    Mild, moderate and severe according to Aaslid scale

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Mortality assessment

    Mortality was assessed at hospital discharge and at six months

    Measured: six monts

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and Vasospasm, Intracranial, run by Hospital El Cruce.

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 0 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 10 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Clinical implication (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT04193124, which also lists 4 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 10 Dec 2019.
