Trial summary

Degenerative lesions of the shoulder occur very frequently and their incidence increases with age. The Constant-Murley score is currently considered the gold standard in Europe to assess the shoulder and is widely used by the orthopaedic community to follow up on shoulder pathologies.

About this study

Degenerative lesions of the shoulder occur very frequently and their incidence increases with age. The Constant-Murley score is currently considered the gold standard in Europe to assess the shoulder and is widely used by the orthopaedic community to follow up on shoulder pathologies. However, healthcare professionals are taking an increasing interest in self-administered patient-reported out-come measures. Several self-administered questionnaires are available to assess the shoulder. Among these questionnaires, the OSS (Oxford Shoulder Score) is considered to be quick, simple, and reliable for the English-speaking population. This score was initially developed at the University of Oxford in 1996. It is a self-administered questionnaire designed to evaluate pain and shoulder function through 12 questions. This score has since been adapted in different languages but not in French.

Read the detailed description

The aim was to develop a translation and a transcultural adaptation of the OSS and to assess its validity in native French-speaker patients with shoulder pain.

What is being measured

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

  1. Acceptability of the French version of the Oxford Shoulder Score

    Acceptability was analysed using the rate of refusal to participate. It is a 12-item self-administered questionnaire developed for patients with inflammatory or degenerative shoulder disease.

    Each question presents five possible responses corresponding to a score of 0 (worst situation) to 4 (best situation). Questionnaire produces a single score with a range from 0 (least difficulties) to 48 (most difficulties).

    Measured: Day 0

  2. Feasibility of the French version of the Oxford Shoulder Score

    Feasibility was analysed using the nonresponse rate. It is a 12-item self-administered questionnaire developed for patients with inflammatory or degenerative shoulder disease.

    Each question presents five possible responses corresponding to a score of 0 (worst situation) to 4 (best situation). Questionnaire produces a single score with a range from 0 (least difficulties) to 48 (most difficulties).

    Measured: Day 0

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Convergent validity of the French version of the Oxford Shoulder Score

    The convergent validity was studied using correlation between the Oxford Shoulder Score and the Constant score and between the Oxford Shoulder Score and the Subjective Shoulder Score score.

    Measured: Day 0

  2. test/retest reliability of the French version of the Oxford Shoulder Score

    Test/retest reliability was analysed using calculation of the intraclass correlation coefficient. An ICC > 0.8 indicates good test/retest reliability.

    Measured: Day 0

  3. Internal coherence of the French version of the Oxford Shoulder Score

    The internal coherence was tested using the Cronbach coefficient. The acceptable threshold for internal coherence was a Cronbach coefficient equal or more than 0.7

    Measured: Day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Shoulder Pain, run by CHU de Reims.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 17 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Acceptability of the French version of the Oxford Shoulder Score (time frame: Day 0). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03320356, 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 17 Nov 2017.
