What is being measured

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

  1. Brain structural and functional changes in patients

    Structure and function changes in patients will be assessed by Voxel-based morphometry analysis for structural changes, as well as Regional homogeneity, Amplitude of lowfrequency fluctuation, etc, for functional changes.

    Measured: one time point

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Huafu Chen (chenhf@uestc.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Brain structural and functional changes in patients (time frame: one time point). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
