A Multi-Center, Randomized, Controlled, Trial of Cerebrospinal Fluid Drainage (CSFD) in Acute Spinal Cord Injury
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating CSFD and elevation of MAP and Maintenance of MAP for Spinal Cord Injury. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this Phase IIB randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CSFD and to provide a preliminary clinical efficacy evaluation of the combination of CSFD and elevation of mean arterial pressure (MAP) in patients with acute spinal cord injury (SCI). The objectives of the trial are to evaluate (i) efficacy of reducing intrathecal pressure (ITP) by CSFD in patients with acute SCI; (ii) preliminary efficacy of combination of CSFD and elevation of MAP compared to elevation of MAP alone in improving neurologic motor outcomes in patients with acute SCI; and, (iii) safety of intensive CSFD in acute SCI patients.
