About this study

Official title: China National Clinical Research Center for Neurological Diseases

To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of rehabilitation training based on brain-computer interface in improving the upper motor function, self-care ability in daily life and quality of life in patients with ischemic stroke. This study adopts centralized uniform random 1:1 grouping, subjects will be randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group. Randomization schemes are generated by statistical professionals using SAS software.

Read the detailed description

Brain computer interface(BCI) is a noninvasive nervous system intervention. As a new method, it is applied in rehabilitation by stimulating peripheral nerve, such as motor, vibration, sensory, in combination with other stimulations, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial electrical stimulation, etc.

In traditional rehabilitation therapy, hand-holding training is completed by physical therapist. Rehabilitation robot is also used for auxiliary training. BCI therapy will stimulate patients to take part in rehabilitation training more actively and obtain better effects on the rehabilitation of stroke.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Brain-computer interface and Traditional rehabilitation in people with Hemiplegia Following Ischemic Stroke, run by Beijing Tiantan Hospital 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 4 inclusion and 12 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 21 Feb 2024. 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?

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?

The improvement of upper limb motor function at 1 month after randomization. (time frame: 1 month after randomization compared with traditional rehabilitation strategy.). 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 NCT04387474, 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 21 Feb 2024.
