About this study

Official title: Effect of Exogenous Lactate Infusion on Neurocognitive Function of Patients With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the most common type of brain injury. Post-mild TBI disability could stem from cognitive, physical, psychological and social dysfunction which resulted in significant disability and unemployment. Long-term behavioral impairments which affected the individual's occupation, lifestyle, and family frequently occurred in individuals with mild to moderate brain injuries who physically fully recovered. In-vitro and in-vivo studies showed a better recovery of cognitive function after administration of exogenous lactate in traumatic brain injury. Therefore, this study is aimed to evaluate the effect of exogenous lactate infusion contained in hyperosmolar sodium lactate solution on cognitive function assessed by Mini Mental State Examination(MMSE)scale.

Read the detailed description

Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the most common type of brain injury. Post-mild TBI disability could stem from cognitive, physical, psychological and social dysfunction which resulted in significant disability and unemployment. Cognitive impairment post traumatic brain injury is due to the disruption of brain vascular bed and microstructural damage. Currently, there is no specific therapy for individual with mild TBI. Neuropsychological assessment and early management immediately after mild traumatic brain injury have been shown to reduce long term cognitive disability. In-vitro and in-vivo studies showed a better recovery of cognitive function after administration of exogenous lactate in traumatic brain injury.

The role of lactate in cerebral energy metabolism has been investigated widely. The ability of lactate as the sole energy substrate to support synaptic function has been demonstrated by different studies. In many studies, lactate has been proven to be a preferred or even an obligatory substrate over glucose for aerobic energy production during the initial stage of recovery from cerebral ischemia or hypoxia for recovery from ATP-depleted synaptic function and exogenously supplied lactate can support the early recovery of synaptic function after hypoxia.

However, the clinical studies evaluated the effect of lactate administration on cognitive function in patients with mild traumatic brain injury are still limited. Therefore, we conduct a study to evaluate the effect of exogenous lactate infusion contained in hyperosmolar sodium lactate solution on cognitive function assessed by Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) score evolution in mild traumatic brain injury compared with patients receiving hyperosmolar sodium chloride 3 % as a control group. MMSE score can be used as a tool to describe cognitive function.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in neurocognitive function

    The investigators evaluate the changes in neurocognitive function at several time points (24 hours, 30 days, and 90 days post surgery) using Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) score in both groups. Osmolality and sodium level are also recorded in order to confirm that hyperosmolar sodium lactate is safe for traumatic brain injury patients

    Measured: 24 hours, 30 days, and 90 days post surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing hyperosmolar sodium lactate in people with Traumatic Brain Injury, run by Universitas Padjadjaran at 1 site in Indonesia.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 21 Oct 2011. 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 Indonesia. 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?

Changes in neurocognitive function (time frame: 24 hours, 30 days, and 90 days post surgery). 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 21 Oct 2011.
