This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel controlled, post marketing confirmatory clinical trial in Chinese patients with acute ischemic stroke. Objective to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cinepazide maleate injection compared with placebo in the treatment of patients with acute ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND: Advanced treatment regimens have reduced cardiovascular mortality resulting in an increasingly older Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) population in need of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) , the majority (74%) is above 60 years. The positive effect of CR is well established; CR reduces cardiovascular mortality, lowers hospital admissions, and improves quality of life among patients with IHD. These positive effects of CR has also been established among older patients. The inherent problem lies in the low attendance rate, often below 50%. Several studies, including studies from Denmark, have shown that low participation in CR is most prevalent among older, vulnerable and female patients. The notion vulnerable covers patients with low socioeconomic position (SEP), patients with non-western background and patients living alone, as these groups have particularly low CR attendance. Effective interventions aiming at increasing CR attendance among these low attending groups are thus warranted and the current study will seek to address this. AIM: To test the effect of a peer-mentor intervention among older vulnerable IHD patients. DESIGN AND METHODS: The study is designed as a two arm RCT-study applying mixed methods. Power calculations were based upon primary outcome 'Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) attendance'. Proportion attending CR in control group was set at 25% and intervention group at 50% based upon previous research. With a 5% significance level and 80% power. 110 patients were required (55 in each group) to have a 80% chance of detecting, as significant at the 5% level, an increase in the primary outcome measure from 25% in the control group to 50% in the experimental group. Expected dropout was 6%. I.e., in total 117 patients are enrolled. Patients (n=117) are recruited by a dedicated research nurse before discharge from the cardiology department at Nordsjællands Hospital and randomized (with 1:1 individual randomisation) to peer-mentor intervention or usual care. Data is collected through both qualitative and quantitative data (mixed methods). Data is collected at three timepoints, baseline, 12 weeks and 24 weeks. The patients (mentees) are matched with peer-mentors. Peer-mentoring (i.e. mentoring by a person with a similar life situation or health problem as one self) is a low-cost intervention that holds the potential to improve CR attendance and improve physical and psychological outcomes among older patients. Peer-mentors are role models who can guide and support patients overcoming barriers of CR attendance. Peer-mentoring is unexplored in a CR setting among older, female and vulnerable IHD patients; establishing the novelty of the current study.
This is a multi-intervention randomized controlled trial that aimed to develop a management pattern for stroke survivors. The program consists of monitoring the recovery process, early detecting the physical and mental disorders, suitably intervening for each patient to improve their quality of life. New intervention techniques will be firstly applied for post-stroke patients in Vietnam such as using the portable functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) device to explore cortex frontal hemodynamic and motivational interviewing for psychological adjustment. A total of registered 92 stroke patients in Vietnam National Geriatrics Hospital will be included in the study for 6 months. Included patients will be randomized to an intervention group and received the long-term follow-up program or to a control group receiving standard care. The mental health and physical functioning of participants will be assessed at 0, 1, 3, and 6 months follow-up. This work was funded by Vingroup Joint Stock Company and supported by the Domestic Master/Ph.D. Scholarship Programme of Vingroup Innovation Foundation (VINIF), Vingroup Big Data Institute (VINBIGDATA).
The study aims to investigate the rationale for LPN in patients with high-complexity renal tumors in terms of oncologic and functional outcomes.
This study is open to adults with diabetic macular ischemia who have received laser treatment. The main purpose of this study is to find out whether people with diabetic macular ischemia can tolerate a medicine called BI 765128. In this study, BI 765128 is given to people for the first time. The study has 2 parts. Part A tests 3 doses of BI 765128. Participants get either a low, medium or high dose of BI 765128 as a single injection into the eye. If participants tolerate it well, the highest dose will be used in part B. In part B, participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. 1 group gets BI 765128 as injection into the eye. The other group gets sham injections. A sham injection means that it is not a real injection and contains no medicine. Participants cannot tell whether they get the real injection or a sham injection. In this part, participants receive study treatment once every month for 3 months. Participants in part A are in the study for about 4 months and visit the study site about 8 times. Participants in part B are in the study for about 5 months and visit the study site about 7 times. The doctors regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of serial remote ischemic conditioning on dynamic cerebral autoregulation and related hematology indexes in healthy adults.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Patients were treated with the trial drug or placebo in a 1:1 ratio. The control group was treated with placebo 4 pills / day, 3 times / day on the basis of conventional treatment until the end of follow-up, while the experimental group was treated with MUSK Pill 4 pills / day, 3 times / day on the basis of conventional treatment until the end of follow-up.
