Efficacy Study of Hydrocephalus Surgery by Methods of Neuroelectrophysiology

Central South University

Status: Unknown

Conditions: Hydrocephalus

Study type: Observational

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT04363658

202001015

Details and patient eligibility

About

The symptoms of hydrocephalus containing consciousness condition with muscle tone in some patients will be relieved, after the cerebrospinal fluid release test is carried out. Neuroelectrophysiology in patients with disorders of consciousness of post-traumatic hydrocephalus (PTH) can establish the association with consciousness and muscle tone to a certain extent, and predict the shunt effect of PTH with disorders of consciousness.

Enrollment: 65 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 16 to 70 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

Patients with disorder of consciousness in traumatic brain injury. The presence of hydrocephalus through image examination.

Exclusion criteria

Patients who cannot tolerate shunt surgery. Sedation maintained by greater than 0.15mg/kg/hour of midazolam or the infusion dose of propofol higher than 4mg/kg/hour.

Patients who are participating in drug research or other clinical trials.
