About this study

This study aimed to explorie the biological basis of phlegm-dampness syndrome in patients with ischemic stroke using proteomics research techniques of urine and saliva.

Read the detailed description

Stroke is the disease with the highest mortality and disability in China, and the annual incidence of ischemic stroke is the highest. Atherosclerosis is the main cause of ischemic stroke. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the disease is closely related to the physical constitution of the individual. The main body constitution of the population in Lingnan area is phlegm dampness syndrome;Previous large cross-sectional studies have found that 65.3% of patients with ischemic stroke in Lingnan area have phlegm dampness syndrome. However, there is currently no biological evidence related to phlegm-dampness syndrome and ischemic stroke.In recent years, proteomics research technology has developed vigorously. The research samples have developed from blood obtained from minimally invasive to urine and saliva obtained non-invasively. Studies have found that urine proteins associated with AS include type I, type III collagen, 8-isoprostaglandin F2α, and saliva proteins include IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and PGE2.Therefore, this research is dedicated to exploring the biological basis of phlegm-dampness syndrome in patients with ischemic stroke using proteomics research techniques of urine and saliva.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT04472754
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
A(healthy control group)patients who did not have ischemic stroke and whose TCM constitution was dialectically peaceful;
BPatients with no ischemic stroke and whose TCM constitution was dialectical with damp phlegm constitution
Cpatients with ischemic stroke diagnosed with phlegm dampness syndrome
Dpatients with ischemic stroke diagnosed as non-phlegm dampness syndrome

What is being measured

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

  1. Differentially expressed proteins of urine and saliva

    Proteomic expression of urine and saliva in each group will be tested use Protein liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry detection.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. NIHSS scoes

    NIHSS scoring scale for neurological impairment assessment

    Measured: 1 day

  2. modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score

    mRS score for the degree of dependence

    Measured: 1 day

  3. BI index

    BI index for living ability assessment

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Protein; Disease, run by Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 15 Jul 2020. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Differentially expressed proteins of urine and saliva (time frame: 1 day). 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 15 Jul 2020.
