About this study

Official title: Study on Brain Structure and Function of Patients With Pain-related Emotion Disorder Via Multi-mode Magnetic Resonance Imaging

By the method of multi-mode Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 5 patients with knee osteoarthritis are selected in this trial to observe the possible differences in the brain structure and function from the 5 healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

In this study, 5 patients with knee osteoarthritis and 5 healthy volunteers were selected. The degree of pain is evaluated via visual analogue pain scale (VAS). The emotional state is evaluated by Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) or Hamilton depression scale (HAMD). The patients and healthy volunteers who meet the include criteria are include in the research. Then the spontaneous brain electrical activity is collected by multimodal brain magnetic resonance imaging technology. The spontaneous brain electrical activity is analyzed to find the differences between knee osteoarthritis patients and healthy volunteers. Further analysis of resting brain functional connectivity and information exchange changes in multifunctional areas, in order to elaborate the central mechanism of pain and emotion modulation.

What is being measured

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

  1. blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) signal

    BOLD is used in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to observe different areas of the brain or other organs, which are found to be active at any given time. The hemoglobin content, blood flow volume and oxygen consumption of special brain regions will be observed via BOLD. Oxyhemoglobin ratio is used in this measurement.

    Measured: the data will be collected the second day when entering group

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoarthritis, Knee and Depressive Symptoms, run by Zhoujie.

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 10 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2019. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Yuanyuan Wu, Doctor (+86 15336871318, runnaway@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) signal (time frame: the data will be collected the second day when entering group). 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 NCT03912610, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 Apr 2019.
