About this study

Official title: Exploratory Study of the Impact of Intermittent Hypoxia-hyperoxia Training on Patients with Cerebral Venous Outflow Disorders

This study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of intermittent hypoxia-hyperoxia treatment in patients with cerebral venous outflow disorders.

Read the detailed description

Cerebral venous outflow disorder (CVOD), resulting from internal blockage, external oppression, or jugular valve incompetence, can cause hemodynamic disturbance and abnormal perfusion status. Restricted applicable populations and limited benefits constrain the application of existing CVOD management approaches. Previous studies indicate intermittent hypoxia hyperoxia training (IHHT) might improve circulatory status via hypoxic stimulation and allow hypoxic-related symptom amelioration through oxygen supply. Thus, IHHT might be a promising therapy for the CVOD population. Studies have so far proved inconclusive as to whether IHHT is safe and effective for CVOD. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the safety and feasibility of IHHT in patients with cerebral venous outflow disorder.

What participants receive

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

  • intermittent hypoxia-hyperoxia treatmentDevice

    The intermittent hypoxia-hyperoxia training refers to 4 cycles of 10-minute hypoxia inhalation interspersed with 20-minute hyperoxia, which is performed once daily for 14 days within 2 to 3 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of adverse reactions

    Adverse reactions included headache, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, dizziness, and insomnia.

    Measured: After the 14-time IHHT interventions.

  2. Incidence of adverse reactions

    Adverse reactions included headache, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, dizziness, and insomnia.

    Measured: After the first-time IHHT intervention.

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Heart rate

    Heart rate was recorded every 5 minutes from the start to 30 minutes following the completion of the first IHHT intervention.

    Measured: At the first-time IHHT intervention.

  2. Blood pressure

    Brachial arterial blood pressure was measured every 5 minutes from the start to 30 minutes following the completion of the first IHHT intervention.

    Measured: At the first-time IHHT intervention.

  3. Tissue oxygen saturation

    Peripheral and cerebral tissue oxygen saturations were recorded every 5 minutes from the start to 30 minutes following the completion of the first IHHT intervention.

    Measured: At the first-time IHHT intervention.

  4. Twenty-four-hour ambulatory blood pressure

    Including systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg).

    Measured: The day before the 14-time treatment; The day after the 14-time treatment.

  5. Blood routine indexes

    Changes in blood routine indexes will be detected.

    Measured: The day before the 14-time treatment; The day after the 14-time treatment.

  6. Blood biochemical changes

    Changes in blood biochemical parameters will be detected.

    Measured: The day before the 14-time treatment; The day after the 14-time treatment.

  7. The global impression of the treatment

    The patient global impression of change (PGIC) scale was used after the 14 training sessions to assess the perceived global impression of change from the patient's perspective. This instrument is a numeric scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse), with a lower score indicating better improvement.

    Measured: The day after the 7-day treatment.

  8. Symptoms

    It is evaluated by completing the follow-up form.

    Measured: The day before the 14-time treatment ;The day after the 14-time treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing intermittent hypoxia-hyperoxia treatment in people with Cerebral Venous Outflow Disorders, run by Capital 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 18 Dec 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?

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?

Incidence of adverse reactions (time frame: After the 14-time IHHT interventions.). 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 18 Dec 2024.
