About this study

Official title: Impact of Peripheral Sensory Stimulation of the Hand in the Treatment of Stroke: A Preliminary Functional MRI Study

This is a prospective, single center, interventional clinical study containing two cohorts the treatment cohort and control cohort. A total of 13 subjects will be enrolled. Three (3) healthy volunteers will be enrolled in the control cohort and undergo imaging only. Ten (10) subjects who have recently experienced a mild to moderate acute ischemic stroke will receive treatment using the NeuroGlove.

Three (3) healthy volunteers will be enrolled in the control cohort and undergo imaging only. Ten (10) subjects who have recently experienced a mild to moderate acute ischemic stroke will receive treatment using the NeuroGlove.

Up to 13 subjects enrolled and complete study procedures. There will be 2 cohorts enrolled in the study:

  1. Control Cohort: 3 healthy volunteers
  2. Treatment Cohort: 10 subjects who have experienced mild to moderate stroke symptoms* that did not completely resolve after acute interventions.
  • Mild to moderate stroke symptoms is defined as a NIHSSS score of 3 to 15.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • NeuroGloveDevice

    NeuroGlove is a non-invasive device that provides peripheral somatosensory stimulation to the hand of a stroke victim during acute, subacute, or chronic phases of a stroke. NeuroGlove provides sensory stimulation in the forms of pneumatic puffs of air. There is some early evidence that early peripheral sensory stimulation may improve neurological outcomes following an ischemic stroke.

Study groups in NCT05961293
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control Cohort (Healthy Cohort)OtherHealthy participants who participate in 1 study visit. The healthy participant will undergo one functional MRI which using the NeuroGlove.
Receives: Device: NeuroGlove
Treatment ArmExperimentalThe treatment cohort will undergo two functional MRIs once at baseline and the final fMRI will occur six weeks after initial study visit after daily use of the NeuroGlove.
Receives: Device: NeuroGlove

What is being measured

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

  1. Brian Function

    Evaluate brain function through a fMRI assessing post-stroke changes in brain activation including functional recruitment of new brain territories in subjects undergoing rehabilitation with the NeuroGlove.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. Rate of Adverse Events

    Rate and severity of adverse events related to the use of the NeuroGlove.

    Measured: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Motor Recovery

    Evaluate the motor recovery of the affected upper extremity based on the change in hand grip strength from baseline using hand dynamometer

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. NIHSS score

    Evaluate neurological recovery as measure by the change in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score from baseline. The lower the score less severe the stroke symptoms.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  3. Rankin Score

    Evaluate functional recovery as measured by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score. A 0-6 scale is used to measure degree of ability 0 is no disability and 6 is death.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  4. Change in QOL

    Change in stroke-specific quality of life (SS-QOL) scores from baseline. Scale is 49-245 with higher scores indicating better function.

    Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NeuroGlove in people with Ischemic Stroke, Acute and Stroke, run by NeuroGlove LLC.

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 10 inclusion and 10 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 27 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Thomas Harold (612.255.0405, tharold@neuroglove.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Brian Function (time frame: 6 weeks). The study lists 2 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 27 Aug 2024.
