carnitine and Electrolytes

carnitine has been researched along with Electrolytes in 8 studies

Electrolytes: Substances that dissociate into two or more ions, to some extent, in water. Solutions of electrolytes thus conduct an electric current and can be decomposed by it (ELECTROLYSIS). (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)

Trial Overview

Trial Outcomes

A Combination of All-cause Mortality and Major Disability at the 3-month Post-treatment Follow-up.

Major disability was defined as a score of 3 to 5 on the modified Rankin Scale at 3 months after randomization. Scores on the modified Rankin Scale range from 0 to 6, with a score of 0 indicating no symptoms; a score of 5 indicating severe disability (ie, bedridden, incontinent, or requiring constant nursing care and attention); and a score of 6 indicating death (NCT01840072)
Timeframe: 3 months

A Combination of Death Within 14 Days After Randomization and Major Disability at 14 Days or at Hospital Discharge if Earlier Than 14 Days.

Major disability was defined as a score of 3 to 5 on the modified Rankin Scale at 14 days after randomization. Scores on the modified Rankin Scale range from 0 to 6, with a score of 0 indicating no symptoms; a score of 5 indicating severe disability (ie, bedridden, incontinent, or requiring constant nursing care and attention); and a score of 6 indicating death. (NCT01840072)
Timeframe: 2 weeks

Cognitive Function (Montreal Cognitive Assessment)

Cognitive function was measured by Montreal Cognitive Assessment at 3 months after randomization. The MoCA is a 30-item test that evaluates the following seven cognitive domains: visuospatial/executive functions, naming, memory, attention, language, abstraction, and orientation. One point is added for participants with education <12 years. Scores on the MoCA range from 0 to 30 and cognitive impairment was defined as a score of <26. (NCT01840072)
Timeframe: Three months

Cognitive Function (the Mini-Mental State Examination)

Cognitive function was measured by the Mini-Mental State Examination at 3 months after randomization. The MMSE contains 20 items that test cognitive performance in domains including orientation, registration, attention and calculation, recall, language, and visual construction. MMSE scores were divided into three ordinal categories: 24-30 (no cognitive impairment), 19-23 (mild cognitive impairment), and 0-17 (severe cognitive impairment). (NCT01840072)
Timeframe: Three months

Long-term Neurological and Functional Status

Those patients who were still alive at hospital discharge were contacted by telephone to set up a follow-up clinical visit. Neurological function was assessed by the modified Rankin scale at the 3-month post-treatment follow-up visit. Scores on the modified Rankin Scale range from 0 to 6, with a score of 0 indicating no symptoms; a score of 5 indicating severe disability (ie, bedridden, incontinent, or requiring constant nursing care and attention); and a score of 6 indicating death. Major disability was defined as a score of 3 to 5 on the modified Rankin Scale. (NCT01840072)
Timeframe: Three months

Mortality

Those patients who are still alive at hospital discharge will be contacted by telephone to set up a follow-up clinical visit. Information on clinical deaths will be obtained. (NCT01840072)
Timeframe: 3 months

Other Vascular Events

Those patients who are still alive at hospital discharge will be contacted by telephone to set up a follow-up clinical visit. Information of vascular events, such as myocardial infarction, will be collected. (NCT01840072)
Timeframe: 3 months

Recurrent Stroke

Those patients who are still alive at hospital discharge will be contacted by telephone to set up a follow-up clinical visit. Information of recurrent stroke will be collected. (NCT01840072)
Timeframe: 3 months

Change From Baseline in Claudication Onset Time at Day 180

Subjects were asked to complete a standardized exercise treadmill test using a modified Gardner protocol. Subjects walked on the treadmill until they were physically unable to walk further either as a result of their peripheral artery disease (PAD) symptoms or other non-PAD symptoms. The time during the conduct of the exercise treadmill test at which the subject first reported claudication symptoms is referred to as the claudication onset time (COT) and reported in minutes/seconds. The exercise treadmill test was conducted at Screening, Baseline, Day 90, and Day 180 visits. The log transformation is used to make highly skewed distributions less skewed. (NCT00822172)
Timeframe: Baseline, Day 180

Change From Baseline in Peak Walking Time (PWT) at Day 180

Subjects were asked to complete a standardized exercise treadmill test using a modified Gardner protocol. Subjects walked on the treadmill until they were physically unable to walk further either as a result of their peripheral artery disease (PAD) symptoms or other non-PAD symptoms. This maximum time walked is referred to as the peak walking time (PWT) and reported in minutes/seconds. The exercise treadmill test was conducted at Screening, Baseline, Day 90, and Day 180 visits. The log transformation is used to make highly skewed distributions less skewed. (NCT00822172)

Change From Baseline in Walking Impairment Questionnaire for Walking Distance at Day 180

Subjects completed the Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ) whereby they were asked about their maximal walking distance before having to rest as a result of claudication symptoms associated with their peripheral artery disease (PAD). The WIQ was administered at the Baseline, Day 90, and Day 180 visits. On the WIQ subjects were asked a series of questions related to their degree of physical difficulty that best described how hard it was for the subject to walk on level ground without stopping to rest. The questions began by asking the degree of difficulty walking around indoors, then 50 feet, 150 feet, 300 feet, 600 feet, 900 feet, and lastly 1500 feet. The responses range from None (best outcome) to Slight, then Some, then Much, then lastly Unable (worst outcome). The walking distance score was calculated from the 7 questions in the section by way of a weighted sum. A score of 100 indicated no walking impairment. A score of 0 corresponded to the highest degree of walking impairment (NCT00822172)
