About this study

Official title: Risk Factors Analysis of Anxiety and Depression in Patients With Herpes Zoster Neuralgia and Characteristics of Serum Biomarkers and Functional Brain Magnetic Resonance Changes

The goal of this observational study is to explore risk factors of anxiety and depression in patients with herpes zoster neuralgia, and the changes of certain serum biomarkers and functional brain magnetic resonance images of these patients.

Read the detailed description

Patients with herpes zoster neuralgia will be recruited and take Hospital anxiety depression rating scale (Hospital anxiety and 'scale, HADS) evaluation. According to the HADS Scores, patients will be divided into depression group and no depression, or anxiety group and no anxiety group. The clinical data the of two groups will be collected and statistically analyzed to explore the risk factors of anxiety and depression, including the changes of serum biomarkers and functional brain magnetic resonance imaging in patients with herpes zoster neuralgia accompanying anxiety or depression.

What is being measured

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

  1. HADS score

    Enrolled patients will be first evaluated by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scare questionaire and according to the HADS score, patients will be divided to group with anxiety/depression and group without anxiety/depression.

    Measured: during hospital stay, average of 1 week

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Interleukin (IL)-1β plasma level

    Blood sample will be obtained from enrolled patients and the plasma level of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β (pg/ml)will be tested.

    Measured: during hospital stay, average of 1 week

  2. IL-2 receptor plasma level

    Blood sample will be obtained from enrolled patients and the plasma level of inflammatory cytokines IL-2 (u/ml)will be tested.

    Measured: during hospital stay, average of 1 week

  3. IL-6 plasma level

    Blood sample will be obtained from enrolled patients and the plasma level of inflammatory cytokines IL-6 (pg/ml)will be tested.

    Measured: during hospital stay, average of 1 week

  4. IL-8 plasma level

    Blood sample will be obtained from enrolled patients and the plasma level of inflammatory cytokines IL-8 (pg/ml)will be tested.

    Measured: during hospital stay, average of 1 week

  5. IL-10 plasma level

    Blood sample will be obtained from enrolled patients and the plasma level of inflammatory cytokines IL-10 (pg/ml)will be tested.

    Measured: during hospital stay, average of 1 week

  6. Interferon(INF)-α plasma level

    Blood sample will be obtained from enrolled patients and the plasma level of inflammatory cytokines INF-α (pg/ml)will be tested.

    Measured: during hospital stay, average of 1 week

  7. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plasma level

    Blood sample will be obtained from enrolled patients and the plasma level of BDNF(pg/ml)will be tested.

    Measured: during hospital stay, average of 1 week

  8. C-reactive protein (CRP) plasma level

    Blood sample will be obtained from enrolled patients and the plasma level of CRP(mg/ml)will be tested.

    Measured: during hospital stay, average of 1 week

  9. Area under curve (AUC) of topological metrics of functional brain magnetic resonance imaging

    Functional brain magnetic resonance imaging will be performed in patients with anxiety or depression, and area under curve (AUC) of topological metrics including Eglob,Eloc,Cp,Lp,γ,λ and σ will be calculated and analyzed.

    Measured: during hospital stay, average of 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Herpes Zoster, run by Huazhong University of Science and Technology 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 3 inclusion and 2 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 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. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Yang Shuguang, M.D ((+86)15071078161, yangsuperpro@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

HADS score (time frame: during hospital stay, average of 1 week). 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 NCT06449547, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Aug 2024.
