About this study

this non-randomized prospective study of 2 longitudinal cohorts (surgical treatment group or orthopedic treatment group), will evaluate the hemodynamic repercussions of the correction (surgical and non surgical) of pectus excavatum-type thoracic deformities by measuring the cardiac output difference before and after intervention, measured by transthoracic impedancemetry, during an exercise stress test

What participants receive

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

  • surgical treatmentProcedure or surgery

    patients who chose to undergo a surgical correction (Ravitch or Nuss type intervention).

  • orthopedic treatmentProcedure or surgery

    orthopedic treatment by vacuum bell.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cardiac output difference before and after intervention,during an exercise stress test

    Cardiac output measured by transthoracic impedancemetry, during an exercise stress test

    Measured: 4 months before treatment (initial evaluation E1) just before treatment (intermediate evaluation E2) and 4 months after surgical treatment (TC) or orthopedic treatment (TO) of the deformation (final evaluation E3)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Rest lung function tests

    Measured: 4 months before treatment (initial evaluation E1) just before treatment (intermediate evaluation E2) and 4 months after surgical treatment (TC) or orthopedic treatment (TO) of the deformation (final evaluation E3)

  2. Exercise functional capacity

    Measured: 4 months before treatment (initial evaluation E1) just before treatment (intermediate evaluation E2) and 4 months after surgical treatment (TC) or orthopedic treatment (TO) of the deformation (final evaluation E3)

  3. Exercise cardiac output

    Exercise cardiac output (measured by transthoracic echocardiography)

    Measured: 4 months before treatment (initial evaluation E1) just before treatment (intermediate evaluation E2) and 4 months after surgical treatment (TC) or orthopedic treatment (TO) of the deformation (final evaluation E3)

  4. Quality of life

    Quality of life SF36

    Measured: 4 months before treatment (initial evaluation E1) just before treatment (intermediate evaluation E2) and 4 months after surgical treatment (TC) or orthopedic treatment (TO) of the deformation (final evaluation E3)

  5. Mean energy expenditure

    Mean energy expenditure will be evaluated by metabolic and physical activity monitor "armband" during 3 days (Kcal/min)

    Measured: 4 months before treatment (initial evaluation E1) just before treatment (intermediate evaluation E2) and 4 months after surgical treatment (TC) or orthopedic treatment (TO) of the deformation (final evaluation E3)

  6. Evaluation of postoperative neuropathic pain

    Measured: 4 months before treatment (initial evaluation E1) just before treatment (intermediate evaluation E2) and 4 months after surgical treatment (TC) or orthopedic treatment (TO) of the deformation (final evaluation E3)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing surgical treatment and orthopedic treatment in people with Pectus Excavatum, run by Centre Jean Perrin at 5 sites in France.

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 4 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 19 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in France. 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 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?

Cardiac output difference before and after intervention,during an exercise stress test (time frame: 4 months before treatment (initial evaluation E1) just before treatment (intermediate evaluation E2) and 4 months after surgical treatment (TC) or orthopedic treatment (TO) of the deformation (final evaluation E3)). 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 19 Jul 2017.
