About this study
Official title: Study on the Association Between the Effect of Glucocorticoid Pulse Therapy on Neuromyelitis Optica and Gene Polymorphism: a Cohort Study
Aims of this study are to observe the correlation between ABCB1、VDR、TBX21、NR3C1 and other gene polymorphisms and the effect of glucocorticoid shock therapy on neuromyelitis optica. Investigators plan to include patients with neuromyelitis optica who will receive glucocorticoid shock therapy prospectively. The patients are divided into glucocorticoid sensitive (GS) group and glucocorticoid resistance (GR) group according to the change of central vision after treatment. Patients' clinical data will be collected and blood samples are needed for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing test. Through statistical analysis, the data differences between GS group and GR group were compared, and the effects of clinical indexes and gene polymorphisms on the efficacy of glucocorticoid shock therapy in the treatment of neuromyelitis optica should be analyzed.
- Conditions

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
methylprednisolone pulse therapy: 500-1000mg/d，３-５ｄ
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| glucocorticoid sensitive (GS) group | Not described Receives: Drug: Methylprednisolone | |
| glucocorticoid resistance (GR) group | Not described Receives: Drug: Methylprednisolone |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
the change of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA)
Test BCVA before and after the treatment of methylprednisolone pulse therapy, and calculate the change value
Measured: 3 day after the treatment of methylprednisolone pulse therapy

What does the primary outcome measure?
the change of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) (time frame: 3 day after the treatment of methylprednisolone pulse therapy). 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?
