About this study

Change and effect of cerebral autoregulation during targeted temperature management in neurocritical patients

Read the detailed description

Cerebral autoregulation (CA) is the ability of cerebral vascular system to contract or diastole with the change of perfusion pressure, and to maintain the stability of cerebral blood flow. It has been found that there are different degrees of CA damage in patients with traumatic brain injury, ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, ischemic hypoxic encephalopathy and sepsis. At the same time, studies have shown that CA damage or loss is related to brain dysfunction and poor prognosis in patients with neurocritical diseases. Therefore, early assessment and intervention of CA can help identify individuals with high risk of complications and improve outcome.

Targeted temperature management (TTM) is a kind of body temperature management started when the core temperature of patients is higher than 37.5 ℃, including achieve hypothermia (TTMhypo) and maintain normal temperature (TTMnorm). TTMhypo has been widely considered as one of the neuroprotective therapies for a variety of brain diseases and injuries, including ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, hypoxic brain injury caused by out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. Its neuroprotective effects in reducing brain edema, reducing intracranial pressure, reducing brain metabolism and inhibiting apoptosis have been recognized. However, the existing studies mainly focus on the effect of TTMhypo on the mortality and neurological outcome of patients with severe neurological diseases in ICU. There is no large clinical study on the effect of targeted temperature management (TTM) on cerebral autoregulation in patients with severe neurological diseases. Due to the controversy of TTMhypo on mortality and neurological outcome, this study aime to reduce the patient's core temperature to normal. Patients with severe neurological disorders who still had cerebral autoregulation dysfunction, had fever, and needed to reduce the core temperature to normal. Therefore, the effect of TTMnorm on cerebral autoregulation before and during cooling was observed.The main measures were the THRR, Mx and TOx during cooling.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ischemic Stroke and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, Aneurysmal, run by Xiangya Hospital of Central South University 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 1 inclusion and 8 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 28 Jan 2021. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Lina Zhang, PhD (+8615874875763, zln7095@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

discharge mortality (time frame: mortality when patients discharge,an average of 7days). 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 28 Jan 2021.
