What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Combined EEG and fNIRSDevice

    The EEG+NIRS recordings will be obtained via an extended EEG cap that is applied to the subject's head. Changes in neuronal activity and hemodynamics will be measured. The EEG component is the microEEG by BioSignal Group, UA. The fNIRS component is the NIRScout 24x32, NIRx Medizintechnik GmbH, Germany

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Combined EEG and fNIRSExperimentalEEG is electroencephalography. fNIRS is functional near infrared spectroscopy. The EEG+NIRS recordings will be obtained via an extended EEG cap that is applied to the subject's head. Changes in neuronal activity and hemodynamics will be measured.
Receives: Device: Combined EEG and fNIRS

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with abnormal blood flow as assessed by fNIRS

    Abnormal blood flow is determined by comparing a part of the patient's brain not affected by stroke to a part of the patient's brain affected by stroke.

    Measured: immediately at the time of combined EEG and fNIRS for up to 60 minutes

  2. Number of participants with abnormal neuronal activity as assessed by EEG

    Abnormal neuronal activity is determined by comparing a part of the patient's brain not affected by stroke to a part of the patient's brain affected by stroke.

    Measured: immediately at the time of combined EEG and fNIRS for up to 60 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Combined EEG and fNIRS in people with Stroke, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston 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 3 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: The collaborating investigator has moved and cannot collect further data.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Number of participants with abnormal blood flow as assessed by fNIRS (time frame: immediately at the time of combined EEG and fNIRS for up to 60 minutes). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Apr 2022.
