About this study

Official title: Feasibility Study DK150OS. Testing of Compression Textile. A Safety Study Among Healthy Volonteers

This safety study was carried out to investigate to what extent the use of an abdominal binder influences IAP. The study was designed as a comparative cross-over study measuring bladder pressure.

Read the detailed description

Study Description: Transabdominal surgery might be associated with incisional pain, fear of rupture, inhibited mobilisation and risk of incisional herniation. An abdominal binder was developed for postoperative support of abdominal incisions. The abdominal binder provides a pressure of 10-15 mmHg.

Worlds Society on Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (WSACS) defines that Normal Intra-Abdominal Pressure (IAP) is approximately 5-7 mmHg in critically ill adults, and that Intra-Abdominal Hypertension (IAH) is a sustained or repeated pathologic elevation of IAP >12 mmHg. This safety study was carried out to investigate to what extent the use of the abdominal binder influences IAP. The study was designed as a comparative cross-over study measuring bladder pressure (Foley manometer, Holtec Medical, Copenhagen) in 11 healthy volunteers with and without wearing the abdominal binder.

Results IAP measurements without wearing the abdominal binder were found to be surprisingly high with a range between 8,0 and 16,7 mmHg. (mean 10,5 mmHg.). This finding is explained by the fact that the subjects were not under relaxation and the fact that half of the subjects according to their BMI were categorised as being overweight or fat. Other investigations have demonstrated that relaxation decreases IAP and that BMI is positively related to IAP.

We found that wearing the abdominal binder did increase IAP with a mean of 4,0 mmHg. (+/-1,4) or 39,3% (+/-14,61%).

In conclusion Relating our results to the WSACS guidelines regarding IAP and IAH it is not likely that the use of the abdominal binder will increase IAP to a clinically critical extent in patients with normal IAP. It must though be assessed from case to case, whether the use of the abdominal binder is appropriate.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Abdominal binder in people with Healthy, run by Coloplast A/S.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Oct 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intra Abdominal Pressure (IAP). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Oct 2006.
