Stroke Clinical Trial - tDCS & rTMS in Patients With Early Disorders of

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

A randomized controlled study was conducted to explore the efficacy of early transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to promote wakefulness in patients with disorder of consciousness (DOC). In order to improve the prognosis of DOC patients with nontraumatic brain injury, we compared the effects of tDCS and rTMS on clinical behavior and neurophysiological performance, and selected a wake-up technique that could improve the prognosis of DOC patients with nontraumatic brain injury as early as possible, so as to reduce the pain of patients and their loved ones, and to reduce the economic burden of society and families.

Clinical Trial Description

To study the efficacy of wakefulness promotion in patients with acute DOC due to severe non-traumatic brain injury (including stroke and ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy), patients with early DOC were randomly divided into conventional treatment group, tDCS treatment group and rTMS treatment group for 14 consecutive days. Clinical scoring, evoked potential assessment, resting-state high-density electroencephalogram(EEG) and TMS-EEG assessment with functional analysis of brain network connectivity were applied for multidimensional assessment of brain function before and after wake-up promotion treatment (day 1 and day 15 of enrollment) to explore non-invasive brain stimulation(NIBS) techniques that can be performed at the bedside - tDCS, rTMS intervention The prognostic follow-up was performed at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after DOC to compare the awakening rate after tDCS and rTMS prolongation treatment, and to preferably select an effective prolongation technique for early DOC. The safety of tDCS and rTMS was also clarified by comparing the differences in adverse effects and complications between tDCS treatment group and rTMS treatment group and conventional treatment group. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
