Study population: Patients experiencing acute ischemic stroke who receive intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) infusion, survive to discharge from the hospital, are hemodynamically stable, and are mobilized by physical and/or occupational therapy within 24 hours post-tPA infusion.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients post acute ischemic stroke that have been treated with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA)
  • 13 hours have elapsed since initiation of intravenous TPA infusion
  • Patients are hemodynamically stable (e.g., not on vasopressors or antihypertensive drips or requiring multiple IV PRN boluses of either medication)
  • Patient is able to actively engage in the evaluation

Who cannot join

  • Patients with femoral sheaths or recent removal of femoral sheaths
  • Patients who are hemodynamically unstable, with active bleeding from lines, catheters, INT site or wounds or angioedema
  • Electrocardiogram showing (HR>100)
  • Vital signs (HR > 100, SBP <90 or >180, DBP <70 or > 105)
  • Patients experiencing marked diaphoresis, facial pallor, intense anxious or painful facial expression (especially in aphasic patients)

About this study

Official title: Early Mobilization of Ischemic Stroke Patients Within 24-hours After Intravenous-tPA Infusion.

The purpose of this study is to study the safety and feasibility of mobilization of acute ischemic stroke patients treated with IV-tPA between 12-24 hours of treatment.

Read the detailed description

Abstract:

Introduction

Historical precedence exists demonstrating that early intensive care unit (ICU) mobilization of patients reduces risks of complication and lengths of hospital stay, and may improve long-term health status of patients.

Objective

To determine the safety of early mobilization by physical and/or occupational therapy in acute ischemic stroke patients within 24-hours of IV-tPA infusion and to examine if early mobilization leads to shortened ICU and hospital length of stay.

Methods

Prospective study of incidence of adverse response and functional mobility status of study patients mobilized by occupational and/or physical therapy between 12- 24 hours after IV-tPA infusion with comparison of ICU and hospital Length of Stay data between study group and pre-study patients who were mobilized by occupational and/or physical therapy services at no pre-determined time after IV-tPA infusion. Additionally, patients will be contacted by study personnel approximately 3 to 5-days and 30-days post-infusion for completion of Modified Rankin Scale stroke disability survey as follow up of stroke recovery.

Setting

Medical and surgical intensive care units at Mayo Clinic Florida.

Patients

All patients with acute ischemic stroke who receive intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) infusion, survive to discharge from the hospital, are hemodynamically stable, and are mobilized by physical and/or occupational therapy within 24 hours post-tPA infusion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Level of Patient Disability post-TPA Infusion.

    Study participants will be contacted at approximately 3 to 5-days and 30-days post-IV tPA infusion to capture level of disability by use of Modified Rankin Scale.

    Measured: 30-days post-IV tPA infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ischemic Stroke, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 5 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 27 Feb 2013. 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 United States. 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?

Level of Patient Disability post-TPA Infusion. (time frame: 30-days post-IV tPA infusion). 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 Feb 2013.
