Stroke Clinical Trial
— RobocopOfficial title:
ROBOCOP (ROBOtic Care of Post-stroke Pain): Study Protocol for a Randomized, Double-blind Trial to Assess Robot-assisted Functional and Motor Recovery and Impact on Post-stroke Pain Development
In agreement to the Initiative on Methods, Measurement, and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials (IMMPACT) recommendations that support the importance of physical functioning as core outcome for pain this randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial will be the pilot forming the rational basis for the assessment of the efficacy in the use of Robotic rehabilitation system to prevent chronic post stroke pain development. In fact, according to working hypothesis, proprioceptive inputs with high-intensive bilateral movement training of the hemiplegic arm can improve recovery and plasticity, thus preventing chronic post-stroke pain from occurring within the 3-6 months following stroke.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment - upper extremity (FMA-UE) | Improvement of Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment (FMA-UE) scores. The score may range from 0 to 115. A higher score indicates better recovery | up to 6 months after the admission assessment. | |
Primary | Action Research Arm Test (ARAT)- Motor recovery scale | Improvement of Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) scores. Scores on the ARAT may range from 0-57 points, with a maximum score of 57 points indicating better performance | up to 6 months after the admission assessment. | |
Primary | Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) - Pain reduction | No worsening of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Using a ruler, the score is determined by mea-suring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity. Based on the distribution of pain VAS scores in patients who described their pain intensity as none, mild, moderate, or severe, the following cut points on the pain VAS have been recommended: no pain (0-4 mm), mild pain(5-44 mm), moderate pain (45-74 mm), and severe pain (75-100 mm). | up to 6 months after the admission assessment. | |
Primary | Barthel Index (BI) | Improvement of Barthel Index (BI). Scores on the BI may range from 0-100 points, with a maximum score of 100 points. Score from 80 to 100 indicates that the patient should be able to live indipendently | up to 6 months after the admission assessment. |
