Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Memantine Versus Placebo on Ischemic Stroke Outcome (NCT NCT02535611)

NCT ID: NCT02535611

Last Updated: 2020-10-06

Results Overview

The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, or NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is a tool used by healthcare providers to objectively quantify the impairment caused by a stroke. The NIHSS is composed of 11 items, each of which scores a specific ability between a 0 and 4. For each item, a score of 0 typically indicates normal function in that specific ability, while a higher score is indicative of some level of impairment. The individual scores from each item are summed in order to calculate a patient's total NIHSS score. The maximum possible score is 42, with the minimum score being a 0. Higher score is indicative of some level of impairment in neurological function.

Measure
Memantine
Patients with ischemic stroke in middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory who will receive 20 mg/d(2 tab 5mg BID) memantine for 7 days and then 10mg/d(1 tab 5mg BID) memantine for 21 days. Memantine: Beside the usual treatment for ischemic stroke this group will be treated by memantine.
Placebo
Patients with ischemic stroke in middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory who will receive placebo(2 tab BID) for 7 days and continue placebo(1 tab BID) for 21 days. Placebo: Beside the usual treatment of ischemic stroke, this group will receive placebo for 4 weeks.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 7 days

The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is a commonly used scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or other causes of neurological disability. The scale runs from 0-6, running from perfect health without symptoms to death. 0 - No symptoms. 1. \- No significant disability. Able to carry out all usual activities, despite some symptoms. 2. \- Slight disability. Able to look after own affairs without assistance, but unable to carry out all previous activities. 3. \- Moderate disability. Requires some help, but able to walk unassisted. 4. \- Moderately severe disability. Unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance, and unable to walk unassisted. 5. \- Severe disability. Requires constant nursing care and attention, bedridden, incontinent. 6. \- Dead.
