Trial summary

This longitudinal cohort study aims to detect the topographical nature of the white matter microstructure and resting state functional connectivity patterns across the whole brain in the evolution of pathology as a function of time following mild TBI. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All consecutively patients with the non-contrast head CT because of acute head trauma from the local emergency department (ED) formed the initial population of this study. Three research assistants (trained, board-certified neurologist or neurosurgeon) monitored the ED and hospital wards on a daily basis to identify new admissions. Screening for mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) was based on the World Health Organization's Collaborating Centre for Neurotrauma Task Force.

Who may be able to join

  • Glasgow Coma Score of 13-15;
  • one or more of the following: loss of consciousness (if present) < 30 min, post-traumatic amnesia (if present) < 24 h, and/or other transient neurological abnormalities such as focal signs, seizure, and intracranial lesion not requiring surgery.
  • no contraindications to MRI;
  • injury within 7 days;
  • agreement to communicate by telephone or e-mail for 1, 3 to 6-12 months after enrollment and come back to the hospital for follow-up

Who cannot join

  • history of neurological disease
  • head injury, or history of substance or alcohol abuse, intubation and/or presence of a skull fracture
  • administration of sedatives on arrival in the emergency department
  • spinal cord injury, manifestation of mild TBI due to other injuries (e.g., systemic injuries, facial injuries, or intubation) or other problems (e.g., psychological trauma, language barrier, or coexisting medical conditions), or caused by penetrating craniocerebral injury.

About this study

Official title: Multi-modality Magnetic Resonance Imaging Biomarkers of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: a Longitudinal Cohort Study

This longitudinal cohort study aims to detect the topographical nature of the white matter microstructure and resting state functional connectivity patterns across the whole brain in the evolution of pathology as a function of time following mild TBI. All consecutively patients with the non-contrast head CT because of acute head trauma from the local emergency department (ED) formed the initial population of this study. Age, sex, education-level matched healthy controls will also be enrolled. The initial scan will performed within 7 days post-injury. Clinical assessment was performed within 24 hours of MR imaging and included a broad neuropsychological and symptom assessments. Follow-up examination will conduct at 1 month, 3 month, 6-12 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, run by First Affiliated Hospital Xi'an Jiaotong 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 5 inclusion and 4 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 12 May 2022. 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?

Correlation between brain diffusion tensor imaging measures and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder symptom (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT02868684, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 May 2022.
