Clinical Trial Summary

This is an interventional randomized, controlled trial in analyzing the effects of astaxanthin supplementation on plasma malondialdehyde levels and NIHSS of acute ischemic stroke patients. According to published studies, it was hypothesized that acute ischemic stroke patients who were given astaxanthin would have lower plasma malondialdehyde levels and lower NIHSS score compared to the control group.


Description:

There were a total of 24 subjects, with 12 subjects in the intervention group and 12 subjects in the control group.The participants were divided into an interventional group and a control group. The interventional group was given astaxanthin supplementation 2 x 8mg per day for 7 days, while the control group was given placebo.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Plasma Malondialdehyde Levels on Astaxanthine Treated Stroke Patients as Assessed by Wills Spectrophotometry This method used Thiobarbituric acid reaction (TBAR) with substances such as malondialdehyde. The scale was 0.367 nmol/ml-0.707 nmol/ml. The value above 0.707nmol/ml would be the worse outcome, and value less than 0.367nmol/ml would be the best outcome. Bivariate analysis was used to analyze the results (T-test or the Mann-Whitney Test). 7 days
Primary National Institute of Health Stroke Scale on Astaxanthine Treated Stroke Patients Score scale was 4-15, where less than 4 indicates mild neurologic deficit, 4-15 moderate neurologic deficit, and more than 15 severe neurologic deficit. They will be assessed before and after the trial to compare how each participant improved after given the intervention. 7 days
