About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Remote Ischemic Conditioning in Pediatric Moyamoya Disease Patients Treated With Revascularization Therapy

Revascularization surgery has been the standard treatment to prevent ischemic stroke in pediatric Moyamoya disease (MMD) patients with ischemic symptoms. However, perioperative complications, such as hyperperfusion syndrome, new infarct on imaging, or ischemic stroke, are inevitable. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a noninvasive and easy-to-use neuroprotective strategy, and it has potential effects on preventing hyperperfusion syndrome and ischemic infarction.

Read the detailed description

This study will provide insights into the preliminary proof of principle, safety, and efficacy of RIC in pediatric MMD patients undergoing revascularization surgery therapy, and this data will provide parameters for future larger scale clinical trials if efficacious.

What is being measured

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

  1. the incidence of major neurologic complications

    Including transient ischemic attack, cerebral infarction, intracranial hemorrhage, and seizures.

    Measured: during the perioperative period

Secondary outcomes (22)
  1. The score of National Institute of Health stroke scale score

    National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is considered as a standardized assessment of neurological functions in the acute phase of stroke, and it is generally used to quantify patient's neurological impairments on 15 items in 11 fields of different neurological status.The score of the scale ranges from 0 to 42.And higher score indicates worse neurological function.

    Measured: change from baseline (preoperation) at 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and at 5-7 days or if discharged earlier

  2. The score of Modified Rankin scale score

    The Modified Rankin Scale Score (mRS) is the most comprehensive and most widely used primary outcome measurement to assess the neurological functional disability in contemporary acute stroke trials. The mRS is an ordinal, graded interval scale that assigns patients among 7 global disability levels, which ranges from 0 (no symptom) to 5 (severe disability) and 6 (death). We will use mRS to evaluate the degree of disability or dependence during daily activities. The mRS will be assessed by certified study investigator, who is blinded to the treatment assignment, at 90 days postoperation. The distribution of mRS will be compared between groups

    Measured: change from baseline (pre-RIC treatment) at 180 days after revascularization therapy

  3. Symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage

    Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, including any subarachnoid hemorrhage associated with clinical symptoms and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Head computed tomography or magnetic reasoning imaging (MRI) scan will be performed to confirm intracerebral hemorrhage, and the imaging will be evaluated by two independent neuroradiologists who are blinded to the study assignment.

    Measured: during the first 180 days after revascularization therapy

  4. Incidence of new infarct in brain

    Head MRI is a precise method which is commonly used to evaluate weather there's new infarct in brain.

    Measured: during 72 hours and 180 days after revascularization therapy

  5. Angiographic outcome

    Angiographic outcome will be assessed following Matsushima's criteria (proportion of the middle cerebral artery territory with revascularization from collaterals from the external carotid artery through the burr holes): Grade A: >2/3; Grade B: between 1/3 and 2/3; Grade C: <1/3.

    Measured: 180 days after revascularization therapy

  6. Death and adverse event

    All causes of death will be included to compute mortality at 180 days postoperation, and mortality will be compared between groups. Any adverse event will be reported and its relationship with the RIC intervention will be evaluated.

    Measured: 180 days after revascularization therapy

  7. Infarct volume in brain

    Head MRI is a precise method which is commonly used to evaluate infarct size.

    Measured: during 72 hours and 180 days after revascularization therapy

  8. Distal radial pulses

    professional doctors will check the distal radial pulses

    Measured: within 7 days after RIC treatment

  9. Visual inspection for local edema

    Professional oculists will check the fundus oculi to evaluate whether there is local edema.

    Measured: within 7days after RIC treatment

  10. The number of patients with erythema,and/or skin lesions related to RIC

    Professional doctors will check it and the investigator will record the number.

    Measured: within 7days after RIC treatment

  11. Palpation for tenderness

    Professional doctors will check it.

    Measured: within 7days after RIC treatment

  12. The number of patients not tolerating RIC procedure,and refuse to continue the RIC procedure

    The investigator will record the number.

    Measured: within 7days after RIC treatment

  13. The number of patients with any other adverse events related to RIC intervention

    The investigator will record the number.

    Measured: within 7days after RIC treatment

  14. The score of ABCD2

    We use this scale to evaluate the patients' risk of stroke who with TIA .The score of the scale ranges from 0 to 7, and the higher score indicates higher risk of stroke in the patients who with TIA.The scale will be assessed by qualified investigator who are blinded to the treatment assignment

    Measured: change from baseline (pre-RIC treatment) at 180 days after revascularization therapy

  15. The level of S-100A4

    Blood samples will be drawn from cubital vein to test these biomarkersThese samples will be centrifuged immediately after collection and stored at - 80 until batch evaluation

    Measured: change from baseline (pre-RIC treatment) at 7 days after RIC treatment, 24 (-6/+12) hours, 72 ± 6 hours and 6 months postoperation

  16. The level of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9)

    Blood samples will be drawn from cubital vein to test these biomarkersThese samples will be centrifuged immediately after collection and stored at - 80 until batch evaluation

    Measured: change from baseline (pre-RIC treatment) at 7 days after RIC treatment, 24 (-6/+12) hours, 72 ± 6 hours and 6 months post-operation

  19. The level of vascular endothelial growth factor

    Blood samples will be drawn from cubital vein to test these biomarkersThese samples will be centrifuged immediately after collection and stored at - 80 until batch evaluation

    Measured: change from baseline (pre-RIC treatment) at 7 days after RIC treatment, 24 (-6/+12) hours, 72 ± 6 hours and 6 months post-operation

    The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a standardized questionnaire used to assess sleep quality and disturbances over a one-month time interval.

    Measured: 0-30 days

  21. the score of SNAP-IV

    SNAP-IV (Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham Teacher and Parent Rating Scale) is a widely used assessment tool designed to evaluate behavioral and emotional problems in children and adolescents.

    Measured: 0-30 days

  22. cerebral perfusion status
