About this study

Official title: Efficacy of First Time Anterior Shoulder Decision Tool in a Randomized Control Trial

This study is a randomized controlled trial using Duke patients to test, compared to the standard of care, a questionnaire and statistical model used to determine how patient preference regarding shoulder pain, physical limitations, physical therapy, recovery period, prognosis, and cost impact choice of surgical versus non-surgical intervention.

Phase 1 of this study is the initial testing of the instrument and involves a small group of up to 10 individuals who will partake in one-on-one interviews while completing the Shoulder Injury Survey to provide feedback. In Phase 2 of this study, 200 subjects will be randomized to receive either the Decision Tool or the standard Information on Shoulder Dislocation

Read the detailed description

An anterior shoulder dislocation is a common problem for people between the ages of 15 to 35. Recurrent instability is common and dependent on age and gender. Treatment options include surgical intervention and repair or non-surgical options that include intensive rehabilitation. Level I evidence suggests early surgical repair can significantly reduce the risk of recurrent instability. The risk of arthritis is increased with multiple dislocation episodes.

Traditionally, the combination of 1) history and physical exam performed by the provider, 2) clinical and diagnostic tools to assess the extent of injury and impact on physical activity, and 3) patient-voiced preference has guided the selection of an optimal solution for an individual patient. When providing a recommendation to individual patients and their unique circumstances, the health care provider may gather patient preferences on factors such as desire to avoid pain, chance of recurrent shoulder dislocation, time needed for rehabilitation and physical therapy, and operative versus non-operative costs. Surgical and non-surgical options have distinct differences in these outcomes. When combined, the interaction between these variables creates important tradeoffs of risks and benefits for each option.

No studies have been conducted to determine the objective weight of these different dimensions of patient preferences and how they might guide the provider-patient conversation. Conjoint analysis is a statistical method that seeks to quantify the relative importance of various aspects of the decision-making process, such as cost or probability of repeat injury as described above. Combined with a validated survey tool, conjoint analysis of patient preferences in shoulder repair can assist the physician in recommending a patient-centered option.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Decision Tool and Information on Shoulder Dislocation in people with Shoulder Dislocation, run by Duke University 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 2017. 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 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?

Patient Preference Survey (time frame: 2 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 NCT02656277, 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 31 Jan 2017.
