Evaluation of Cerebrovascular Hemodynamics With Transcranial Doppler and Near-infrared Spectroscopy in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating TCD baseline, TCD after bosentan administration, and 2 other interventions for Multiple Sclerosis. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the potential of Transcranial doppler (TCD) and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), more simple and non-invasive bedside methods than magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to evaluate changes in the cerebral circulation between patients with MS and control subjects.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Measurement of cerebral circulation parameters with transcranial doppler baseline. This examination will be performed in patients with multiple sclerosis and in healthy controls.
Measurement of cerebral circulation parameters with transcranial doppler after administration of one tablet tracleer (Bosentan) 62,5 mg per oral. This examination will only be performed in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Measurement of frontal lobe oxygen saturation with near-infrared spectroscopy baseline. This examination will be performed in patients with multiple sclerosis and in healthy controls.
Measurement of frontal lobe oxygen saturation with near-infrared spectroscopy after administration of one tablet tracleer (Bosentan) 62,5 mg per oral. This examination will only be performed in patients with multiple sclerosis.
