NCT02999659

Brief Summary

The pupilometer determines the alteration of the pupil diameter after a defined light stimulus. In this study data is collected from pupilometer measurements of patients with an acute cerebral disease. The measurements take place during daily neurological routine examinations. The values are compared to outcomes resulting from pupilometer measurements done on patients having not an acute cerebral disease (e.g. cerebral aneurysm without symptoms). The study aims to establish the not invasive method of pupillometry for detecting neurological degradations early.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI)

    DCI is defined as the development of new focal neurological signs and/or deterioration in level of consciousness, lasting for more than 1 h, or the appearance of new infarctions on CT or MRI.

    21 days

  • Number of perfusion deficiency

    21 days

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Transcranial Doppler (TCD) -fluency increase [cm/s]

    21 days

  • Digital subtraction angiography (DSA)

    day 7 ± 2 d

  • Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS)

    after 3 and 6 month

Study Arms (2)

Control group

The control group implies patients with non-acute cerebral disease (e.g. cerebral aneurysm without symptoms). The pupilometer data are once collected during ambulant routine examination. The patients do not undergo any further study related examinations.

Device: Pupilometer

Treatment group

The treatment group implies patients with an acute cerebral disease ensured by CT, MRI or spinal tap. Pupillometry measurements are done during neurological routine examinations. Generally, during the initial diagnosis examination, followed by daily routine measurements and after 3 and 6 month upon hospital discharge.

Device: Pupilometer

Interventions

Device to measure change in pupil diameter due to a defined light stimulus.

Control groupTreatment group

Study Population

The study includes male and female patients suffering from a acute (treatment group) or non-acute (control group) cerebral disease with a minimum age of 18 years.

You may qualify if:

  • male or female patient, age ≥ 18 years
  • signed consent
  • treatment group:
  • patient with acute, cerebral disease verified by CT, MRI or spinal tap
  • control group
  • patient with non-acute cerebral disease like a new diagnosed aneurysm without symptoms

You may not qualify if:

  • female or male patient aged \< 18 years
  • absent of signed consent
  • persons who have a dependent or working relationship with the sponsor or investigator
  • persons who are sheltered in an institution by juridical or governmental order
  • concurrent participation in an other clinical study
