About this study

Read the detailed description

There is a substantial body of evidenc suggesting a strong relation between neurotrophic factors and depression and anxiety pathogenesis (2,8) Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a member of the neurotrophic family known to regulate neuronal plasticity and survival , may play an important role in the pathophysiology of depression and anxiety (3,9).

Different studies indicated patients who were exposed to traumatic events have anxiety comorbidity and lower levels of serum BDNF compared to those without a history of traumatic events (4) .

BDNF has an antidepressant and anxiolytic effect which suggest that BDNF is implicated in the regulation of anxiety-related behaviors. which leads to a valine-to-methionine change in the proBDNF protein, was associated with lower activity-dependent secretion of BDNF (5)and has been implicated with increased susceptibility to neuropsychiatric disorders including depression, anxiety-related dysfunction, and bipolar disorder , all these studies suggest that BDNF is likely to be an important etiological factor in memory, depression and anxiety disorders (6,10).

BDNF arises from a precursor, proBDNF, which is cleaved to produce the mature protein through the tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) pathway, and represents one mechanism that can regulate the action of BDNFarises from a precursor, proBDNF, which is cleaved to produce the mature protein through the tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) pathway, and represents one mechanism that can regulate the action of BDNF (7).

The purpose of this study is to examine the quality of life after stroke of patients treated with thrombolysis .

What does the primary outcome measure?

Detection and measureing anxiety and depressive symptoms in ischemic stroke patients treated with rtpA . (time frame: 15 minutes). 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 NCT04484558, 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.
