Trial summary

In this study, the goal is to find out if the clinicCompanion™ is effective in measuring range of motion when compared to the goniometer. Currently, the goniometer is an approved device to measure range of motion by the FDA, but the clinicCompanion™ is not. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Study of Effectiveness of clinicCompanion. Compared to the Use of a Goniometer for Range of Motion Measurement.

In this study, the goal is to find out if the clinicCompanion™ is effective in measuring range of motion when compared to the goniometer. Currently, the goniometer is an approved device to measure range of motion by the FDA, but the clinicCompanion™ is not.

Read the detailed description

The study procedure will test the range of motion of the subjects shoulders two different ways: using a goniometer and using the clinicCompanion™. Both tools are designed to measure the degree of movement subjects are able to do. Researchers will take 12 measurements on each arm for each device, for a total of 24 measurements per device. That is a total of 48 measurements for both devices.

What is being measured

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

  1. Control cost and enhance accuracy of measurement

    By freeing the doctor from data collection, he or she will be able to spend more time with patient discussing medical conditions and providing pertinent information

    Measured: The goal is to recruit 75 subjects in 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Shoulder Impingement Syndrome, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Oct 2024. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Change in technology). 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?

Control cost and enhance accuracy of measurement (time frame: The goal is to recruit 75 subjects in 18 months). 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 NCT02043639, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 3 Oct 2024.
