NCT ID: NCT06092190

Last Updated: 2023-10-23

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: UNKNOWN
• Total Enrollment: 100 participants
• Study Classification: OBSERVATIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2023-03-20
• Study Completion Date: 2023-10-20

Brief Summary

Stroke is the most common cause of mortality and is one of the most common causes of morbidity in the world. Polyneuropathies and entrapment neuropathies are known as the complications of stroke

Conditions

Neuropathy; Stroke

Study Design

• Observational Model Type: CASE_CROSSOVER
• Study Time Perspective: CROSS_SECTIONAL

Study Groups

Group A

EMG

Intervention Type: DEVICE

Electrodiagnostic testing (electromyography and nerve conduction velocity) can objectively verify the tibial nerve dysfunction. Electrodiagnosis rests upon demonstrating impaired tibial nerve conduction across the tarsal tunnel in context of normal conduction

Group B

EMG

Intervention Type: DEVICE

Electrodiagnostic testing (electromyography and nerve conduction velocity) can objectively verify the tibial nerve dysfunction. Electrodiagnosis rests upon demonstrating impaired tibial nerve conduction across the tarsal tunnel in context of normal conduction
