Further study details as provided by Hospital Universitario Hernando Moncaleano Perdomo:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To determine the efficacy of minocycline in reducing neurological sequelae in patients with stroke [ Time Frame: one year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The researchers evaluated the neurological condition of paralysis, aphasia,and level of consciousness by NIHSS score for each patient with stroke and proceeded to give minocycline or placebo. Then, the assessment was repeated after five and thirty days post treatment to determine whether their neurological sequelae had diminushed.

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Identify the side effects of the intervention administered during the treatment time and 30 days later. [ Time Frame: one year ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment:134
Study Start Date:October 2011
Estimated Study Completion Date:January 2013
Primary Completion Date:November 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
