About this study

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on cerebral autoregulation in patients with cerebral small vessel disease.

Read the detailed description

Current studies have shown that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can change the excitability of nerve cells, improve intracerebral artery blood supply, and even reduce the degree of neurological impairment in patients with stroke. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on cerebral autoregulation in patients with cerebral small vessel disease.

Being tested
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, Sham repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation

What participants receive

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

  • Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulationProcedure or surgery

    After enrollment, the patients received rTMS once a day for 5 consecutive days (stimulation plan: stimulation of M1 region on the affected side at 10Hz).

  • Sham repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulationProcedure or surgery

    After enrollment, the patients received sham-rTMS once a day for 5 consecutive days with the same parameters as the rTMS group, but the coil was rotated 90° away from the scalp.

What is being measured

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

  1. phase difference (PD) in degree

    A cerebral autoregulation parameter derived from transfer function analysis. Continuous cerebral blood flow velocities of bilateral middle cerebral artery will be assessed noninvasively using transcranial Doppler. Spontaneous arterial blood pressure will be simultaneously recorded using a servo-controlled plethysmograph on the left or right middle finger with an appropriate finger cuff size. Transfer function analysis will be used to derive the cerebral autoregulatory parameter.

    Measured: 0-5 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in people with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, run by Yi Yang at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 13 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 29 Feb 2024. 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 China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 Yi Yang, MD,PhD (13756661217 ext. 0086, doctoryangyi@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

phase difference (PD) in degree (time frame: 0-5 days). 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 29 Feb 2024.
