carnitine and Stroke

carnitine has been researched along with Stroke in 21 studies

Stroke: A group of pathological conditions characterized by sudden, non-convulsive loss of neurological function due to BRAIN ISCHEMIA or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Stroke is classified by the type of tissue NECROSIS, such as the anatomic location, vasculature involved, etiology, age of the affected individual, and hemorrhagic vs. non-hemorrhagic nature. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp777-810)

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

InterventionParticipants (Count of Participants)

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

Interventionparticipants (Number)
Usual Care681
Active Antihypertensive Treatment683

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

InterventionMoCA score (Median)
Usual Care22
Active Antihypertensive Treatment22

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)
