Comparison of TRIgemus-evoked SomatosEnsory Potentials and medianus-evoked somatosensory potentials in patients undergoing carotid surgery
ISRCTN ISRCTN47041942
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00484796
Public title Comparison of TRIgemus-evoked SomatosEnsory Potentials and medianus-evoked somatosensory potentials in patients undergoing carotid surgery
Scientific title
Acronym TRI-SEP-Study
Serial number at source EK-BR-22/06-1
Study hypothesis Trigemus-evoked Somatosensory Potentials (TRI-SEP) may be used as an alternative to Medianus-evoked Somatosensory Potentials (MED-SEP) for the detection of cerebral ischaemic events during elective carotid surgery.
Lay summary Not provided at time of registration
Ethics approval Approval by the Ethics Committee of the Saxonian Chamber of Physicians (Ref-Nr: EK-BR-22/0-1).
Study design Prospective, open, clinical study.
Countries of recruitment Germany
Disease/condition/study domain Detection of cerebral ischaemic events during elective carotid surgery
Participants - inclusion criteria 1. Aged over 18 years
2. Agreemant with study procedures and informed consent
3. Elective carotid surgery
Participants - exclusion criteria 1. Inability to take somatosensory potentials

Anticipated start date 15/09/2006
Anticipated end date 31/12/2007
Status of trial Completed
Patient information material
Target number of participants 100
Interventions This study will compare the validity of both methods to detect cerebral ischaemic events, therefore in all patients Medianus- (MED-SEP) and Trigeminus- (TRI-SEP) evoked somatosensory potentials were taken during elective carotid surgery. The cognitive tests were taken in all patients preoperatively and in the early postoperative course to document the cognitive function and detect cognitive disorders.
Primary outcome measure(s) Cerebral ischaemic events during elective carotid surgery
Secondary outcome measure(s) Results of cognitive tests
Sources of funding This study is funded by our institution: Clinics of Anesthesiology, Critical Care and Pain Therapy
