About this study

Adult patients suffering from acquired brain damage run the risk of developing PSH. This group of patients is admitted to our unit, the Neurointensive Stepdown Unit, at Silkeborg Regional Hospital for intensive care and early neurorehabilitation. After weaning from intensive carethey are transferred to Hammel NeuroCentre.

Aim is to assess whether HRV-derived variables in the frequency domain mirror therapeutic and/or nursing and/or pharmacologic interventions. To the extent clinically available BRS and metabolism are included in the assessment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference before vs after intervention in frequency domain parameters of HRV

    HRV parameters: low frequency (LF, 0.04-0.15 Hz), high frequency (HF, 0.15-0.4 Hz) in terms of peak frequency (Hz), absolute power (ms2, natural logarithm transformed values of absolute powers of VLF, LF, and HF bands), relative power (absolute power/total power), normalized power (%, normalized units, n.u.), total power given by VLF + HF + LF (ms2) and LF/HF ratio.

    Measured: immediate

  2. Qualitative description expressed as goal attainment scaling (GAS) of therapeutic interventions

    Two independent ratings on a 5-point scale, -2 to +2

    Measured: immediate

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Autonomic Nervous System Imbalance, run by Region MidtJylland Denmark.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 24 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Difference before vs after intervention in frequency domain parameters of HRV (time frame: immediate). 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 24 Sep 2021.
