Trial summary

A large series of recent studies have documented the frequency of the slowing of the action in brain diseases, especially vascular and neurodegenerative diseases. In stroke, the predictive value of action slowing at the acute phase for predicting post-stroke functional outcome remains poorly investigated. Read more about this study

About this study

A large series of recent studies have documented the frequency of the slowing of the action in brain diseases, especially vascular and neurodegenerative diseases. In stroke, the predictive value of action slowing at the acute phase for predicting post-stroke functional outcome remains poorly investigated. In neurodegenerative diseases, the diagnostic relevance of the slowing at the prodromal stage remains unknown and this diagnostic requires new tests. Finally, in terms of anatomical determinants, few studies have studied the determinants of action slowing. The objectives of this project are to Determine the diagnostic and prognostic value of action slowing assessed with new quick tests in patients with acute stroke (Neurovascular Unit) and cognitive neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer Disease (AD), Lewy Body disease (LBD), Fronto Temporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), Cortico Basal Degeneration (CBD) and Progressive Supra Nuclear Palsy (PSNP)) and to define the lesion determinants with VBM and VLSM

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke and Action Speed, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens 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 8 inclusion and 23 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2026. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Martine ROUSSEL, PhD (0322667813, roussel.martine@chu-amiens.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Value of the speed of the action with the 'RT Componential Analysis of Action Speed' battery in all patients (time frame: 12 months). 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 13 May 2026.
