About this study

Official title: Clinical Features of Hyperkinetic Involuntary Movements Controlateral to Hemiplegia in Acute Stroke

The occurrence of abnormal movements is a frequent reason for consultation in neurology. The etiologies are broadly separated into "primary causes", intrinsically neurological diseases (of genetic or degenerative origin), and "secondary causes". In addition to certain medications or toxic substances, brain damage can be a cause. In this register, 22% of involuntary abnormal movements are related to a stroke and 1 to 4% of strokes are complicated by abnormal movements.

These are manifested by a parkinsonian syndrome or conversely by hypercinesia which can take the form of chorea or ballisms. Most hyperkinetic movements occur in the acute phase of the neurovascular event.

The frequency of these abnormal movements is still uncertain and their semeiological description has been the subject of only rare publications. It seems relevant to be interested in the frequency of these neurological phenomena and has their semeiologic characteristic

The occurrence of abnormal movements is a frequent reason for consultation in neurology. The etiologies are broadly separated into "primary causes", in example intrinsically neurological diseases (of genetic or degenerative origin), and "secondary causes". In addition to certain medications or toxic substances, brain damage can be a cause. In this register, 22% of involuntary abnormal movements are related to a stroke and 1 to 4% of strokes are complicated by abnormal movements.

These are manifested by a parkinsonian syndrome or conversely by hypercinesia which can take the form of chorea or ballisms. Most hyperkinetic movements occur in the acute phase of the neurovascular event. . The pathophysiology seems simple and explained by a direct lesion or hypoperfusion of structures involved in the loops of the basal ganglia, especially when the putamen is affected. Intuitively, these abnormal hyperkinetic movements affect the contralateral hemibody to the vascular lesion, or the ipsilateral rating to the sensory and/ or motor deficit. However, observations have already been reported of involuntary hyperkinetic abnormal movements of the contralateral side to that presenting hemiplegia, i.e. in theorie controlled by a cerebral hemisphere free of acute cerebral lesion.

The frequency of these abnormal movements is still uncertain and their semeiological description has been the subject of only rare publications. A largest cohort reports abnormal involuntary movements very heterogeneous as to their clinical presentation (rotation of the head, orpharyngeal stereotypies to the limbs, compulsive manipulations of the environment or repeated passive mobilization of the contralateral limb paralyzed) In addition, the correlation of this type of neurological manifestations with vascular lesions has not yet been elucidated.

However, the unusual nature of this type of movement, it seems relevant to be interested in the frequency of these neurological phenomena and has their semeiologic characteristic.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neurology Department, run by Centre Hospitalier de Saint-Denis 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 25 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Guillaume BAILLE, MD, PhD (01 42 35 62 97, guillaume.baille@ch-stdenis.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

incidence of abnormal contralateral movements to hemiplegia in the acute phase of a stroke (time frame: Day 1). 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 NCT05388552, 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.

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 25 May 2022.
