About this study

Official title: Impact Assessment of Positioning on Pain Sensitivity During a Lumbar Puncture in Children

This protocol is a pilot study on standard care. The main goal is to assess the impact of positioning on lumbar puncture process especially on pain sensitivity in children.

It's a prospective, monocentric, randomized, open-label, cross-over study. Inclusion period is one year, and number of inclusions forecasted is about 30. Each patient will have one LP in a seated position and one in a lying position.

Read the detailed description

In Pediatric Oncology Hematology, invasive procedures such lumbar punctures or myelograms are essential to diseases diagnosis and treatment.

In hematological malignancies, lumbar punctures are particularly frequent as the therapy processes. Despite a good analgesia, this repeated procedure can generate pain, anxiety, apprehension leading to an increasing difficulty in the procedure realization.

Two positions are possible to carry out lumbar puncture: seated or lying position.

The main goal of this study is to assess the impact of the child positioning during the lumbar puncture process in term of pain, anxiety and stress.

This study is a prospective, monocentric, randomized, open-label, cross-over study. Inclusion period is 1 year, 30 patients will be included from 2 to 18 years old.

Each patient will have 2 LP one in seated and one in lying position in a specific order determined by randomization.

All data regarding pain and anxiety will be collected the day of LP. Patients will be re contacted 48 hours and 15 days after LP procedure in order to evaluate complications such post-lumbar puncture syndrome or hematoma. The main analysis will be done on intent-to-treat-analysis basis and will compare pain intensity between the two groups.

Being tested
LP in a seated position then LP in a lying position, LP in a lying position then LP in a seated position

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain sensitivity during the lumbar puncture procedure.

    It will be evaluated throw specific pain assessment scales according to patient age

    Measured: duration of the procedure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Anxiety during the lumbar puncture procedure on a scale of one to ten

    Measured: duration of the procedure

  2. Time of the lumbar puncture procedure

    Measured: duration of the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing LP in a seated position then LP in a lying position and LP in a lying position then LP in a seated position in people with Hematological Malignancies, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 1 site 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 9 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Pain sensitivity during the lumbar puncture procedure. (time frame: duration of the procedure). 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 12 Mar 2018.
