Ischemic Stroke and Early Vertical Positioning (SEVEL) (SEVEL)

December 16, 2014 updated by: Nantes University Hospital

Ischemic Stroke and Early Vertical Positioning, the SEVEL Study: a Randomised Controlled Trial Comparing the 3 Months Rankin Score Outcome in Ischemic Stroke Patients; in Whom Early or Delayed Mobilization is Performed

Even if it is a daily questioning for the stroke physician, no concrete recommendation exists regarding the time-point of the mobilization of stroke patients. In this study, we will compare two mobilisation strategies: early versus delayed "verticalisation". 400 ischemic stroke patients will be included in this prospective randomized controlled trial, equally distributed in two groups. In the early mobilisation procedure the patient is allowed to go and sit outside of the bed the day after the stroke onset, whereas in the other arm, this procedure is delayed to the third day after stroke onset. The outcome in both groups will be assessed by the modified Rankin Scale at 3 months, which is commonly used in stroke study to investigate the functional outcome of the patients.

Study Overview

Status

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
167

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age 18 years or older
  • Persistent neurological impairment at the participated time, related to an ischemic stroke defined by a sudden neurological deficit. The neurological deficit must not accompany hemorrhage on cerebral tomodensitometry which occurs on the same day or the day previous to the participation
  • Patient hospitalized in Neurology department on the day of the participation
  • Patient affiliated to the social security

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Malignant cerebral infarction, loss of consciousness, comatose with GCS under 13, cerebral herniation, life- threatening infarction.
  • Minor neurological deficit defined by isolated facial palsy, dysarthria, hemianopia, sensitive impairment, or every clinical condition that let the physician thinks that the stay in the hospital would be less than 72 hours.
  • Known intracranial stenosis above 50% linked to the current infarction
  • History of orthostatic neurological degradation
  • Vomiting
  • Deep venous thrombosis or suspicion of.
  • Patients displaying a loss of autonomy with a Rankin score >3 previous to stroke onset.
  • Patient's refusal
  • Patient under legal protection

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Active Comparator: Early vertical positioning
Other: Mobilization of stroke patients
In the first group (early vertical positioning)the patient can sit outside of the bed, the day after stroke onset. In the second group (progressively vertical positioning), the patient is progressively "verticalised" and is allowed to sit outside of the bed on the third day after the stroke onset.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
