About this study

The goal of this observational study is to compare the differences in the features of cerebral multifrequency EIT(cMFEIT) images between healthy subjects and patients with brain diseases and to explore the possibility of applying multifrequency EIT to intracranial abnormality detection.16 healthy volunteers and 8 patients with brain diseases were recruited as experimental subjects, and the cerebral EIT data of 9 frequencies in the range of 21 kHz - 100 kHz of all subjects were acquired with an EH-300 MFEIT system.

Read the detailed description

For subjects who received clinical trials, 16 electrodes were placed equidistantly in their head, and brain EIT data were measured at 9 frequencies in the range of 21 kHz to 100 kHz by applying a current RMS of 176 microamps. The healthy group included 16 individuals (male, age 40.25±11.18). No history of brain disease and no abnormalities were seen on plain CT scans of their brains. Cerebral EIT data collection from healthy volunteers was performed in a dedicated laboratory with temperature controlled at 24±1 °C and 52%±1% humidity in 2022. The subjects were lying in a horizontal position. The patient group included 8 patients with brain diseases (7 males, age 59±10.46). Obvious lesions were visible on the patients' CT or MRI images, including 6 patients with intracranial hemorrhage, 1 patient with cerebral ischemia, and 1 patient with cerebral edema. Data from patients with brain diseases were collected at the neurosurgical intensive care unit at the Army Medical Center of PLA in 2022. The cerebral EIT data of the patients were collected in the same position as the healthy individuals. The MFEIT image sequence is obtained according to a certain imaging algorithm, and the ROI area ratio (AR_ROI) on the left and right sides of the image and the average value of the reconstructed ROI resistivity change (MVRRC_ROI) are extracted. Based on the extracted indicators, the geometric asymmetry index (GAI) and intensity asymmetry index (IAI) was further proposed to characterize the symmetry of MFEIT images, and the differences between the two groups of subjects on MFEIT images were statistically compared and analyzed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Whether there is a significant difference in the characteristic indicators (such as symmetry indicators) of multifrequency EIT images between healthy individuals and patients with brain diseases.

    When there are significant differences in these indicators (such as symmetry indicators) (p<0.05), there is no need for further data collection

    Measured: Up to 12 days after the patient's onset

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cerebral Hemorrhage and Cerebral Ischemia, run by Jieshi Ma 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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 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 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?

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?

Whether there is a significant difference in the characteristic indicators (such as symmetry indicators) of multifrequency EIT images between healthy individuals and patients with brain diseases. (time frame: Up to 12 days after the patient's onset). 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 3 Apr 2023.
