Trial summary

Post-stroke walking abnormalities present significant rehabilitation challenges. Visual deprivation training has been shown to be more effective than open-eye training. The investigators intend to examine the changes in electroencephalography patterns in stroke patients during visually deprived walking tasks. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study of Visual Deprivation on EEG Signal in Stroke Patients

Post-stroke walking abnormalities present significant rehabilitation challenges. Visual deprivation training has been shown to be more effective than open-eye training. The investigators intend to examine the changes in electroencephalography patterns in stroke patients during visually deprived walking tasks.

The stroke participants will be fitted with a brain cap. The participants will walk with their eyes open for 60 seconds, and then their eyes will be blindfolded as they continue walking for another 60 seconds. Electroencephalography will monitor the signals in real-time during both walks.

Read the detailed description

The electroencephalography data collection will be conducted in the Rehabilitation Department of Geriatric Hospital Affiliated with Nanjing Medical University. Upon commencing the experiment, participants will walk at a comfortable pace with their eyes open for a duration of 60 seconds. Following this initial test, a rest period of five minutes will be provided. For the visual deprivation walking trial, participants will be instructed to keep their eyes open throughout the trial. Investigators will apply an adequately sized blindfold to ensure complete visual deprivation, and the participants will proceed to walk for 60 seconds. During both trials, one investigator will remain one step behind the participant at all times to ensure safety.

What is being measured

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

  1. phase locking value

    used to evaluate the phase synchronization relationship between two signals.

    Measured: Real-time monitoring of electroencephalography data will occur while participants are walking. The Time Frame for data collection will encompass the entire duration of each participant's walking session, which lasts for 60 seconds.

  2. phase lag Index

    evaluate the degree of phase synchronization and the symmetry of neural oscillatory

    Measured: Real-time monitoring of electroencephalography data will occur while participants are walking. The Time Frame for data collection will encompass the entire duration of each participant's walking session, which lasts for 60 seconds.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke, run by Nanjing Medical University 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 3 inclusion and 2 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2024. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

phase locking value (time frame: Real-time monitoring of electroencephalography data will occur while participants are walking. The Time Frame for data collection will encompass the entire duration of each participant's walking session, which lasts for 60 seconds.). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06234618, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Apr 2024.
