Validation of the Russian Version of Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R)

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to validate Russian version of Coma Recovery Scale - Revised and to assess its psychometric properties.

Clinical Trial Description

There is a need of validated scale for correct assessment for patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) in Russia. One of the most detailed scales that provides robust results in these patients is the Coma Recovery Scale - Revised (CRS-r). The validated Russian version of CRS-r will be very helpful in clinical work and scientific research for making correct assessment of patients status and its changes over time in Russia and Russian-speaking countries.

The purpose of this study is to validate Russian version of CRS-R and to assess its psychometric properties.

The first step of the study was to perform translation of CRS-r from English into Russian according to the validation protocol:

1. Double direct translation by independent translators;

2. Combination of two Russian translations;

3. Reverse translation by native English speaker.

Final Russian version and back-translated version of the Scale were approved by the original author, Dr. J. Giacino. He approved the original validation study protocol as well.

To validate Russian version of CRS-r and to assess its psychometric properties the investigators will perform an observational study on 60 adults with disorders of consciousness of different etiology on different period of recovery after coma. It is planned to include patients with various states of consciousness (e.g., vegetative state, minimally conscious state "minus" and minimally conscious state "plus") in balanced proportions.

Every patient will be examined by two independent researchers on the same day. The patients will be examined twice with a week interval between examinations for evaluation of sensitivity of CRS-r. Test-retest reliability will be applied to investigate interrater reliability. This method will be applied as well to assess the consistency of patients' scores over time. The internal consistency of the test will be investigated by inter-rater method. For this item two researchers will conduct patient assessment with CRS-R on the same day with a small period of time between the examinations. Content validity of the test will be used for assessment of validity of CRS-R. It will be performed with expert evaluation of the content of CRS-R by the investigators. Сriterion validity will be examined by assessing the correlations of CRS-R with the scales of other questionnaires with proven high psychometric properties for consciousness disorders: the Glasgow Coma Scale and Full Outline of UnResponsiveness (FOUR) score. ;

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.
