  • A medical history of carotic artery occlusive pathology
  • A medical history of degenerative cerebral pathology (MS, Dementia, ALS, para-or tetraplegia due to a traumatic disruption of the spinal cord)
  • A medical history of severe psychiatric pathology (Schizophrenia, severe depression, alcoholism, drug abuse) Mild depression evoked by coping with the diagnosis of cancer is not excluded
  • Patients with a history of epileptic insults. Patients receiving preventive anti-epileptic treatment due to the tumoral process are not excluded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intracranial Tumor, run by University Hospital, Ghent at 1 site in Belgium.

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 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jan 2014. 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 Belgium. 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?

Asymmetry of EEG extracted indices obtained from either healthy or diseased hemispheres. (time frame: 2 years). 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 28 Jan 2014.
