About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Anorectal Area in Children Using 3D High Resolution Anorectal Manometry.

Anorectal 3D high resolution manometry (3D HRM) is the most advanced version of manometry equipment and has been recently introduced into clinical practice. It is the most precise method to assess the anal sphincter pressure function and may be crucial for planning and controlling surgical procedures of the anorectal area. Normal values in pediatric population have not been established.

The aim of this study is complex evaluation of anorectal function in children without symptoms from lower GI tract and establishment of normal values.

What participants receive

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

  • 3D high resolution anorectal manometryDevice

    Procedure will take about 15 min. During procedure resting, voluntary squeeze, bear down maneuver, cough reflex, ano-anal reflex and Rectoanal Inhibitory Reflex will be obtained, if possible.

children without anorectal disordersOtherAll children will be investigated by 3D high resolution anorectal manometry procedure
Receives: Device: 3D high resolution anorectal manometry

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean and maximum sphincters pressures during rest, voluntary squeeze and bear down maneuvers and Asymmetry of the anal canal

    Pressures during voluntary maneuvers will be obtained if cooperation with a child will be possible

    Measured: up to 20 minutes

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Presence of Rectoanal Inhibitory Reflex

    Amount of air in a balloon needed to elicit Rectoanal Inhibitory Reflex

    Measured: up to 5 minutes

  2. Presence of dyssynergic defecation

    Percent of children without constipation but with dyssynergic defecation pattern

    Measured: up to 1 minute

  3. Presence of Cough Reflex

    Measured: 10 seconds

  4. Presence of Ano-anal Reflex

    Measured: 10 seconds

  5. Presence of discomfort during the procedure

    Measured: up to 20 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3D high resolution anorectal manometry in people with Children and Anorectal Disorder, run by Medical University of Warsaw at 1 site in Poland.

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 7 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 23 Dec 2015. 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 Poland. 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?

Mean and maximum sphincters pressures during rest, voluntary squeeze and bear down maneuvers and Asymmetry of the anal canal (time frame: up to 20 minutes). 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 NCT02236507, 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 23 Dec 2015.
