neuromuscular electrostimulator
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| geko device | Experimental | Not described Receives: Device: geko |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Ultra sound measurements of haemodynamics
Measured: 10mins
Secondary outcomes (2)
Adverse event rate
Measured: 2 hrs
patient rated tolerability
A questionnaire has been designed to record the opinion of the patient with regard to the device, in particular how comfortable the device was to wear. The patient will be asked to rate how comfortable the devices are to wear on a scale of 1-5, 1 being very comfortable and 5 being extremely uncomfortable
Measured: 2 hrs

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?
Ultra sound measurements of haemodynamics (time frame: 10mins). 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 24 Mar 2020.
