About this study

Official title: Comparative Interest of Transcranial Doppler and Quantitative Pupillometry as Neurological Prognostic Factors at 12 Months in Brain Damaged Patients (Stroke or Head Trauma) Admitted to Intensive Care Unit

Transcranial Doppler is performed daily in Intensive Care Unit in brain damaged patients. For a few years now, the measurement of the photomotor reflex by quantitative Pupillometry has been routinely performed in Intensive Care Units. The objective of this work is to see if Transcranial Doppler recorded parameters and Pupillary parameters are correlated to the neurological prognosis evaluated at 9 months by the Modified Rankin Score (mRS) and the Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOS-E).

What participants receive

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

  • Transcranial DopplerDevice

    This device measures Mean Systolic Velocity (VMS), Tele-Diastolic Velocity (TDV) and Pulsatility Index (PI),

  • Pupillometry.Device

    Also called AlgiScan

    This device measures the photomotor reflex (basic pupil diameter, percentage of variation, latent and slope of the standard photomotor reflex)

Study groups in NCT04846738
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
brain damaged patientsAll major brain damaged patients (stroke or head trauma) admitted to reanimation will be included. In the usual practice, they have a Transcranial Doppler and the measurement of the photomotor reflex by quantitative Pupillometry. It is planned to collect the simultaneous values of the different parameters during 2,000 measurements. The data will be collected retrospectively from 01/12/2020, and prospectively from 01/04/2021.
Receives: Device: Transcranial Doppler; Device: Pupillometry.

What is being measured

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

  1. Modified Rankin Score (mRS) (0-5)

    Modified Rankin Score (mRS) measures the degree of disability following a stroke in a patient (level 0 for patients with no symptoms to level 5 for patients with major disability and total dependency)..

    Measured: Year: 1

  2. Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOS-E) (1-8)

    Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOS-E) measure the impact of brain injured (minimum at 1 (Dead) and maximum at 8 (Upper Good Recovery).

    Measured: Year: 1

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Mean Systolic Velocity (VMS)

    Measured by Transcranial Doppler right and left.

    Measured: At inclusion

  2. Intra-Cranial Pressure (ICP)

    Collect on medical file.

    Measured: At inclusion

  3. Pulsatility Index (PI)

    Measured by Transcranial Doppler right and left.

    Measured: At inclusion

  4. Tele-Diastolic Velocity (TDV)

    Measured by Transcranial Doppler right and left.

    Measured: At inclusion

  5. Basic pupil diameter

    Measured by Pupillometry right and left

    Measured: At inclusion

  6. Percentage of variation of the pupil diameter

    Measured by Pupillometry right and left

    Measured: At inclusion

  7. Latent and slope of the standard photomotor reflex

    Measured by Pupillometry right and left

    Measured: At inclusion

  8. Tissue Partial Oxygen Pressure (PtiO2)

    Collect on medical file.

    Measured: At inclusion

  9. Bispectral Index (BIS)

    Collect on medical file. BIS is a reflection of the depth of hypnosis

    Measured: At inclusion

  10. Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS)

    Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) is a symmetrical rating, with positive values for agitation and negative values for the level of consciousness around a point 0 corresponding to a calm and awake patient.

    Collect on medical file.

    Measured: At inclusion

  11. Heart rate

    Collect on medical file.

    Measured: At inclusion

  12. Blood pressure

    Collect on medical file.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Brain Damage, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 1 site in France.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 1 May 2023. 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 France. 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?

Modified Rankin Score (mRS) (0-5) (time frame: Year: 1). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 May 2023.
