Stroke Clinical Trial - External Diaphragm Pacing Therapy & Correlation

Status Suspended

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to observe the enhancement of trunk balance ability, pulmonary function, and diaphragm function in stroke patients after treatment of external diaphragm pacing（EDP）, and analyze the potential correlation between trunk balance ability and respiratory function metrics. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the effect of EDP treatment on trunk balance and respiratory function in stroke patients? - Is there a correlation between trunk balance ability and respiratory function? Participants admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group： - The control group received conventional rehabilitation therapy for 4 weeks. - The observation group received EDP treatment in addition to conventional rehabilitation therapy for 4 weeks.

Clinical Trial Description

Objective：To observe the enhancement of trunk balance ability, pulmonary function, and diaphragm function in stroke patients after treatment of external diaphragm pacing（EDP）, and analyze the potential correlation between trunk balance ability and respiratory function metrics. Methods：Thirty stroke patients admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2023 to August 2023 were selected. They were randomly divided into an observation group (n=15) and a control group (n=15). The control group received conventional rehabilitation therapy, while the observation group received EDP treatment in addition to conventional rehabilitation therapy for 4 weeks. Independent sample t-tests and rank-sum tests were used to compare the Modified Trunk Impairment Scale (mTIS) scores, Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC change in percentage of Vital Capacity from sitting to supine position (ΔVC), diaphragmatic excursion of quiet breath(DE-QB), diaphragmatic excursion of deep breath (DE-DB), and Thickening Fraction (TF) between the two groups of patients. Pearson correlation analysis was employed to explore the correlations among these indicators. ;

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.
