Trial summary

It is advocated that neuroprotection should be increased before endovascular treatment and that the penumbra should be protected from reperfusion damage after recanalization. Monitoring lactate and pH levels in acute ischemic stroke patients who have had endovascular recanalization can be utilized to predict mortality… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Acupoint Stimulation on Level of Lactate in Patients Undergoing Cerebral Endovascular Intervention

It is advocated that neuroprotection should be increased before endovascular treatment and that the penumbra should be protected from reperfusion damage after recanalization. Monitoring lactate and pH levels in acute ischemic stroke patients who have had endovascular recanalization can be utilized to predict mortality and morbidity, especially in the first five hours after the procedure. This study aims to observe the effect of acupoint stimulation on lactate level during endovascular recanalization.

Being tested
electroacupuncture, sham needle

What is being measured

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

  1. arterial level of lactate at 30 minutes after recanalization

    Measured: 30 minutes after recanalization

Secondary outcomes (18)
  1. arterial level of lactate immediately after recanalization

    Measured: about 1 minute after recanalization

  2. pH value at 30 minutes after recanalization

    Measured: 30 minutes after recanalization

  3. Concentration of HCO3- at 30 minutes after recanalization

    Measured: 30 minutes after recanalization

  4. Concentration of base excess at 30 minutes after recanalization

    Measured: 30 minutes after recanalization

  5. partial pressure of oxygen at 30 minutes after recanalization

    Measured: 30 minutes after recanalization

  6. partial pressure of carbon dioxide at 30 minutes after recanalization

    Measured: 30 minutes after recanalization

  7. pH value immediately after recanalization

    Measured: about 1 minute after recanalization

  8. Concentration of HCO3- immediately after recanalization

    Measured: about 1 minute after recanalization

  9. Concentration of base excess immediately after recanalization

    Measured: about 1 minute after recanalization

  10. partial pressure of oxygen immediately after recanalization

    Measured: about 1 minute after recanalization

  11. partial pressure of carbon dioxide immediately after recanalization

    Measured: about 1 minute after recanalization

  12. Concentration of serum interleukin-6 at 30 minutes after recanalization

    Measured: 30 minutes after recanalization

  13. Concentration of serum tumor necrosis factor α at 30 minutes after recanalization

    Measured: 30 minutes after recanalization

  14. Concentration of serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor at 30 minutes after recanalization

    Measured: 30 minutes after recanalization

  15. score of modified Rankin's scale at 24 hours after recanalization

    the minimum and maximum values of modified Rankin's scale is 0 and 5, and higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: 24 hours after recanalization

  16. incidence of stroke during hospitalization

    Measured: From end of surgery to discharge from hospital, at an average of 5 days

  17. Incidence of death during hospitalization

    Measured: From end of surgery to discharge from hospital, at an average of 5 days

  18. length of hospitalization

    Measured: From end of surgery to discharge from hospital, at an average of 5 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing electroacupuncture in people with Endovascular Procedures, run by Air Force Military Medical University, China 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jan 2025. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

arterial level of lactate at 30 minutes after recanalization (time frame: 30 minutes after recanalization). 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 NCT06521645, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 14 Jan 2025.
