A study testing exercise in people with Intra-arterial Thrombectomy, run by National Taiwan University Hospital Hsin-Chu Branch at 1 site in Taiwan.

Trial summary

Early rehabilitation is feasible for stroke patients is still under debate. In addition, IA thrombectomy has been a new treatment for the past few years and currently no known research exploring the efficacy of very early rehabilitation after thrombectomy, or any possible rehabilitation-related adverse effects.

About this study

Official title: Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, National Taiwan University Hospital Hsin-Chu Branch, Hsinchu, Taiwan

Early rehabilitation is feasible for stroke patients is still under debate. In addition, IA thrombectomy has been a new treatment for the past few years and currently no known research exploring the efficacy of very early rehabilitation after thrombectomy, or any possible rehabilitation-related adverse effects. Therefore, in this study, the investigators will investigate the effectiveness of earlier rehabilitation intervention after IA thrombectomy for cerebral large vessel occlusion based on functional independence.

Read the detailed description

The study will be the prospective randomized controlled trial, where patients eligible for inclusion will be randomly assigned to earlier rehabilitation group or control group. The investigators will analyze the correlation between frequency/intensity of rehabilitation and primary/secondary outcomes. Dose-response analysis for earlier rehabilitation will be performed.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Modified Rankin Scale (mRS)

    Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3rd months after stroke:6 grades(higher grades means more disability)

    Measured: 3rd months after stroke

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Barthel Index

    sum score:0~100(higher score means more functional independence )

    Measured: 1st and 3rd months after stroke

  2. Modified Rankin Scale (mRS)

    Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3rd months after stroke:6 grades(higher grades means

    Measured: 1st months after stroke

  3. Fugl-Meyer Assessment

    U/E total score:66 L/E total score:34 the higher score means better movement performance

    Measured: 1st and 3rd month after stroke

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing exercise in people with Intra-arterial Thrombectomy, run by National Taiwan University Hospital Hsin-Chu Branch at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 19 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 Taiwan. 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 Hsing-Yu Chen (035326151 ext. 523504, G54088@hch.gov.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) (time frame: 3rd months after stroke). 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 19 May 2023.
