About this study

Official title: Development and Evaluation of a Nursing Virtual Intervention Tailored for Pain After Cardiac Surgery-SOULAGETAVIE

The purpose of this project is to develop and evaluate the effects of a computer-tailored intervention targeting pain barriers and catastrophizing in adults having cardiac surgery.

The hypotheses are that in the experimental group, in comparison to the control group, participants will show lower levels of pain, less pain interference in their activities, less attitudinal barriers, and less pain catastrophizing.

A pilot-RCT is privileged to assess the preliminary effects of the intervention on the following outcomes: pain intensity, analgesic consumption, pain interference, barriers and pain catastrophizing.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • soulageTAVIEBehavioural

    VITaPaCS consists in a 30 minute-computer-tailored preoperative session, which is animated by a virtual nurse who guides the participant through a learning process about analgesic medication intake, pain communication, and cognitive restructuring. The information and the strategies provided are specifically tailored to the participants' profile, determined by a screening questionnaire, but also by their responses in real-time during the computer session. Two postoperative clinical reinforcements of ten minutes are also provided by the treating nurse based on the flags identified through the preoperative session.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. pain intensity

    Measured: 24, 48, 72 hrs, 7 days, 6 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing soulageTAVIE in people with Cardiac Surgery and Pain, run by Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Sep 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

pain intensity (time frame: 24, 48, 72 hrs, 7 days, 6 months after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01084018, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Sep 2010.
