Relationship Between Clinical Status and Nerve Conduction Test Findings in Patients With Unilateral Hemiplegia
Turkey (Türkiye)72 participantsStarted 2024-10-04
Plain-language summary
Stroke-related hemiplegia may be accompanied by peripheral nerve conduction abnormalities, which may contribute to motor impairment and functional limitations. However, the frequency of these abnormalities and their relationship with clinical status have not been fully characterized. This single-center observational study aims to evaluate the frequency of peripheral nerve conduction abnormalities identified by nerve conduction studies in patients with unilateral hemiplegia and to examine their association with motor and functional clinical assessment scores. The findings may contribute to a better understanding of peripheral nerve involvement in stroke rehabilitation.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Adults (≥18 years of age).
* Unilateral hemiplegia secondary to ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, or intracranial hemorrhage.
* Ability to undergo standardized nerve conduction studies and clinical assessments.
* Provision of written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Bilateral hemiplegia.
* Hemiplegia secondary to benign or malignant intracranial tumors.
* Upper or lower extremity fracture, amputation, skin lesions preventing electrophysiological testing, or diagnosed peripheral vascular disease.
* Concomitant neurological disorders that may affect motor function or peripheral nerve conduction (e.g., Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, encephalitis).
* Contraindications to nerve conduction studies (e.g., cardiac pacemaker or inability to safely undergo the examination).
* Inability to cooperate with or tolerate nerve conduction studies.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
