About this study

Official title: A Temporal Study of Brain Motor Regions of Acute Ischemic Stroke Based on fNIRS

The investigators evaluate the activation and connectivity of patients' motor regions in the acute phase of ischemic stroke by fNIRS.

Read the detailed description

This study aims to analyze the progress of brain recovery from upper-limb deficit due to acute ischemic stroke, using Functional Near-infrared Spectroscopy(fNIRS) as the main neural imaging method. Fifty patients having experienced a stroke onset within seven days will be recruited from the emergency room. The fNIRS signals will be recorded bilaterally over the contralateral sensorimotor cortex, the premotor area, the supplementary motor area, the primary motor cortex for 14 days after being diagnosed. Then compute activation and connectivity of the regions. The motor function data measured by the assessment scales, as well as the behavioral record during the fNIRS motor tasks will be collected as well.

What is being measured

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

  1. fNIRS characteristics of upper limb movement

    The changes in brain oxygen levels are collected in two wavelengths, including 845 and 763 nanometers using a 44 channeled fNIRS machine. The data is used to determine the position of the activated area of the brain and functional connectivity during the movement. The locations of fNIRS channels on the skull of individuals are determined due to the observations on the cortical regions of interest (ROIs), namely the contralateral sensorimotor cortex (SMC), the contralateral premotor cortex (PMC) and primary motor cortex (M1), etc.

    Measured: 0-14 day

  2. Assessment of upper limb function

    Recording the quality and frequency of fNIRS motion tasks including grip and reach-out movements.

    Measured: 0-14 day

  3. Assessment of upper limb function

    Evaluating the motor function by Action Research Arm Test.

    Measured: 0-14 day

  4. Assessment of upper limb function

    Evaluating the motor function by Fugl-meyer assessment.

    Measured: 0-14 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Ischemic Stroke, run by Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing 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 5 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 17 May 2022. 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 Junwei Hao (010-83199088, haojunwei@vip.163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

fNIRS characteristics of upper limb movement (time frame: 0-14 day). The study lists 4 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 17 May 2022.
