E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Primary Objective: The primary goal of the study is to demonstrate that cervical admission of ITB is a safe treatment without deterioration of pulmonary and respiratory function and possible increased risk or increased severity of SAS.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objective: Secondary goal of the study is to explore the effect of cervical admission of ITB on reduction of spasticity (both functional en satisfaction) and improvement at the level of patients functions and activities.
|
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all of the following criteria: • Cervical SCI neurological level C1-Th1, • Functionally hindering generalized spasticity of the upper extremities with insufficient effect or too many side effects of oral spasmolytics and/or local treatments • American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale: A,B,C,D • > 1 year after onset of SCI • Over 18 years old • No progressive disease • Stabile medical situation for undergoing the ITB-trial and a final implantation of a baclofen pump after positive test • No muscle or nerve blocks < 6 months for start of study
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
A potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: • Pregnancy • Allergy baclofen • Contra indication ITB (increased bleeding tendency, increased intracranial pressure, severe pressure ulcer) • Oral anticoagulants • Severe depression • excessive alcohol use • Patients depending on ventilation • Not adequately treated SAS • PcCO2 > 6,5 KPa
|
|
E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint of the study is treatment safety, which is defined as PcCO2 between 4,7 kPa and 6,5 kPa and an AHI ( APNEU HYPOPNEU INDEX,) (< 15 without complaints of SAS (sleep apneu syndrom) in patients without SAS and an AHI < 5 in patients with treated SAS. If patients use a CPAP device, it may be adjusted to stay within the safe margin. This adjustment will be registered.
Respiration: The quality of breathing is determined by means of a capillary blood gas. Sleep apnea: This involves the use of OSAsense and, if necessary, a poly-(somno)graphy.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Respiration: The quality of breathing is determined by means of a capillary blood gas. Sleep apnea: This involves the use of OSAsense and, if necessary, a poly-(somno)graphy.
These endpoints are evaluated during the test phase in the hospital (4 moments) and after definitive implantation of a baclofen pump after 3, 6 and 12 months |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary endpoints are the amount of spasticity, patients satisfaction and patients level of function and activities.
Spasticity: This is measured by Perceived Resistance to Passive Movement (PRPM). Patient satisfaction: This is measured by Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC). The following parameters are already usual care before, during and after ITB trial phase in Roessingh: Function level: • Muscle strength core muscles UE and LE by MRC scale. o Elbow flexion/extension o Wrist flexion/extension o Finger flexion/extension o Hipflexors o Knee extensors o Dorsal flexors o Extensor dig I o Plantar flexors • Passive range of motion (ROM) UE and LE in degrees o Elbow flexion/extension o Wrist flexion/extension o Finger flexion/extension o Hip flexion/extension o Hip abduction/adduction o Knee flexion/extension o Ankle flexion/extension Activity/participation level • COPM: Canadian Occupational Performance Measure • Time up and go test • 10 meter walking test
We will add to this usual care for current study: Function level: • Force lateral and cylinder grasp • Respiration: The quality of breathing is determined by means of a capillary blood gas. • Sleep apnea: This involves the use of OSAsense and, if necessary, a poly-somnography. • Pulmonary function: The pulmonary function is determined by spirometry.
Activity/participation level: • GRASPP: The Graded Redefined Assessment of Strength, Sensibility and Prehension • QIF-sf: Quadriplegia Index of Functions short form
|
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The spasticity and the patients satisfaction is evaluated at the same time points as the primary endpoints.
Patients level of function and activity is evaluated 3, 6 and 12 month after defenitive implantation of a baclofen pump |
