The Effects of High and Low Blood Glucose Values on the Brain in Children With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT01690481
Purpose
Simplified Brochure
Neuropsychological Testing/Assessment is like games for the child. They are asked to complete
the sequence, identify pictures, explain what is happening, etc. There is no personality
testing involved. Part of the standard IQ testing is done but no IQ score is obtained. Age
appropriate testing is done for each child.
The MRI is an enclosed machine. We have the child sit in a simulator after the
neuropsychological testing to see what it will be like, including the sounds, etc. You will
be given a video about MRI testing to view as well. The staff that does this has been doing
this for years in a wide variety of children, young, developmental delayed, etc. The staff
does this WITHOUT sedation. Some children cannot sit still through the entire series. We need
to get six, 10 minute scans. Children are allowed movement such as the need to wiggle their
toes and move in between each scan.
The Neuropsychological Testing can be scheduled in the late afternoons if it is more
convenient for your family. This visit may take 3-4 hours. The MRI scanning can be scheduled
after 5pm and may take up to 2 hours depending on the child's cooperation. You maybe asked to
repeat the Neuropsychological Testing and MRI scanning 24 months later.
