Trial summary

Paraplegic patients have defective wound healing for sore below the level of spinal lesion. Defect of vascularization of the healing zone certainly participate to this effect. Therefore, this study want to measure, in a clinical settings, the interface pressure (e.g. Read more about this study

About this study

Paraplegic patients have defective wound healing for sore below the level of spinal lesion. Defect of vascularization of the healing zone certainly participate to this effect. Therefore, this study want to measure, in a clinical settings, the interface pressure (e.g. the pressure between the patient body and the surface he/she is lying on) to assess the correlation between mechanical stress in term of pressure applied over time and tissue oxygenation which represent micro-vascular function. The aim of this clinical trial is to correlate the variations of pressure intensities and changes in micro-vascularization. The measure are recorded when paraplegic patient came into the hospital for pressure ulcer related surgery. The patient is laying on his/her mattress on top of a flexible pressure mapping device. The micro-vascularization parameters are measured at the area displaying the peak pressure a few minutes after the beginning of the pressure interface recording and one hour later at the same area. The data generated during this monocentric study will help to achieve a better understanding of the relation between pressure and micro-vascularization. In the mid term, it will provide a better and more patient adapted pressure ulcer prevention.

What participants receive

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

  • Measurement of interface pressureOther

    A capacitive pressure mapping device (XSensor) is set up on the patient air mattress bed. It records the interface pressure on the whole patient body with one frame every second during one hour. Then the file is saved and the pressure mapping device is removed from the patient hospital bedroom.

  • Measurement of micro-vascularization related parametersOther

    A medical device called O2C, measuring micro-vascularization related parameters (oxygen saturation, hemoglobin quantity and blood flow) is used. The probe (= an optic fibre) is set up lightly on the patient skin or on a transparent adhesive for 1 minute. The median value of the local micro-vascularization parameters are saved on the O2C interface. The location of the measurement is chosen using the pressure mapping device to locate peak pressure area. Then the O2C is removed from the patient hospital bedroom.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure of the pressure intensity in one area

    Pressure intensity is recorded using a mapping pressure device (XSensor), set up on the patient hospital bed. Hemoglobin quantity is measured the same day, at a precise area identified on the pressure mapping device (peak pressure), using the O2C - a micro-vascularization device. All measure are non-invasive.

    Measured: Measurements are done the same date as the inclusion, during the patient hospitalization for his/her pressure ulcer related surgery.

  2. Measure of the hemoglobin quantity in the same area

    Hemoglobin quantity is measured the same day, at a precise area identified on the pressure mapping device (peak pressure), using the O2C - a micro-vascularization device. All measure are non-invasive.

    Measured: Measurements are done the same date as the inclusion, during the patient hospitalization for his/her pressure ulcer related surgery.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Measure of other micro-vascularization related parameters (such as the oxygen saturation and the blood flow) recorded at the same area.

    All micro-vascularization related parameters are measured the same day, at a precise area identified on the pressure mapping device (peak pressure), using the O2C - a micro-vascularization device. All measure are non-invasive.

    Measured: Measurements are done the same date as the inclusion, during the patient hospitalization for his/her pressure ulcer related surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Measurement of interface pressure and Measurement of micro-vascularization related parameters in people with Pressure Ulcer and Bedsore, run by University Hospital, Montpellier 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 4 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 2021. 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 France. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Departure of the PhD in charge of the study). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Measure of the pressure intensity in one area (time frame: Measurements are done the same date as the inclusion, during the patient hospitalization for his/her pressure ulcer related surgery.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Dec 2021.
