Overview

The purpose of the clinical trial is to find a treatment for stroke patients with cognitive impairment, and the main questions it aims to answer are:

  • [Search for effective treatments of cognitive impairment after stroke]
  • [explore the relationship between BDNF level and cognitive function] Participants will receive conventional treatment, tDCS treatment, .And then compare cognitive function and BDNF level

Description

  1. To study the therapeutic effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) by evaluating cognitive function and detecting plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).
  2. To explore the correlation between plasma BDNF level and cognitive function in patients with PSCI.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • (1)Stroke patients with CT or MRI imaging evidence, among which ischemic stroke met the diagnostic criteria of Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke 2018, and cerebral hemorrhage diseases met the diagnostic criteria of Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Cerebral hemorrhage 2019; (2) There are symptoms related to cognitive dysfunction; Cognitive dysfunction was assessed by rehabilitation physicians. According to the MoCA evaluation standard,MoCA score ≤26 points; according to the MMSE evaluation standard, illiteracy score ≤17 points; primary school education level ≤20 points; secondary school education (including secondary school) level ≤22 points; college education (including junior college) level ≤23 points; (3)Age range 40-80 years old; (4) no obvious aphasia, speech expression and attention can cooperate with the completion of evaluation and treatment; (5)The patient or the patient's family members read and agree to sign the informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • (1) Patients with severe diseases, such as malignant arrhythmia, acute myocardial infarction and acute heart failure, who cannot tolerate rehabilitation treatment; (2) Patients with untreated intracranial aneurysms, severe epilepsy, and intracranial metals who cannot receive tDCS treatment; (3) Non-PSCI patients with cognitive impairment, including patients with cognitive impairment left over from previous stroke and other organ disorders.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
