About this study

Official title: Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing the Spaso Maneuver Versus the Self-assisted Boss-Holzach-Matter for Anterior Shoulder Dislocations

To compare the results and efficacy of the self-assisted Boss-Holzach-Matter maneuver for anterior shoulder dislocation and the Spaso method performed by a physician.

Read the detailed description

Introduction: There are many described maneuvers in literature describing how to reduce an anterior shoulder dislocation. Most of these maneuvers are performed by a trained physician, however, seldom are these taught to patients in case of recurrence or accidental dislocations that may occur far from a trained professional to treat. The Boss-Holzach-Matter maneuver is a simple, easy to understand and easy to perform self assisted method that has not been compared to any other method.

Hypothesis: The Boss-Holzach-Matter method is a less painful maneuver compared to the Spaso method assuming an equal success rate.

Objective: To determine whether the Boss-Holzach-Matter method is a less painful method for anterior shoulder dislocations compares to the Spaso method assuming equal success rate.

Methodology: Fifty six patients presenting acute anterior shoulder dislocation will be randomized, at the time of the admission , to either Spaso reduction method performed by a physician or the self-assisted Boss-Holzach-Matter method.

Being tested
Boss-Holzach-Matter method, Spaso method, Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal

What participants receive

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

  • Boss-Holzach-Matter methodProcedure or surgery

    Also called Self-assited Method

    The patient holds both his hands around his knees in a supine position until the dislocated shoulder is reduced

  • Spaso methodProcedure or surgery

    The physician holds the dislocated arm of the patient in a supine position and proceeds with gentle, soft movements of adduction, flexion and external rotation of the limb in this order until reduction is accomplished.

  • Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-SteroidalDrug

    Also called Pain Killer, "Enantyum®"

    All patients will be administered a dose of NSAI intra-muscular or orally ("Dexketoprofen", "Enantyum®") it is part of the normal treatment of these patients to cope with pain.

Receives: Procedure: Boss-Holzach-Matter method; Drug: Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Pain that the patient experiences during the reduction procedure

    Pain the patient feels during the reduction maneuver. The patient will be asked after reduction to fill out a form with a analog visual scale with scores ranging from 0 [no pain] to 10 [worst possible pain].

    Measured: Patients will be assessed throughout their visit to the Trauma Unit. No further following should be necessary.There will be no change in pain measurement, only the amount of pain felt during the manoeuvre.
