About this study

Official title: Randomized, Monocentric, Controlled, Superiority Phase II Trial Evaluating Clinical Hypnosis Using Virtural Reality vs Standard Pain Management Procedure During a Musculoskelettal Biopsy

The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the benefit of the virtual reality technology in the pain management for patients having a radio-guided musculoskeletal biopsy indication

Read the detailed description

During the last years, the percutaneous biopsies took a growing importance in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal cancers. The most important advantages of percutaneous biopsies are: 1) Often performed under local anesthesia in out-patient department, 2) No visible scars, 3) Surgical intervention avoided in case of benign tumor with a low level of complications (infection, hematoma, pain).

The technology improvement of percutaneous biopsy leads to a high diagnosis success rate (80.8% for bone tumors and 83.2% for soft tissues tumors') with a low complication rate (0.7%) and then justifies the use of percutaneous biopsy as first-line diagnostic exam.

During a percutaneous biopsy, the pain is frequently felt with an increase in the "pain numeric scale" evaluated after the procedure.

The nitrous oxide is a gas mixture which can be used for its anesthetic and antalgic properties, making the pain tolerable for the patients during short procedures. However, it can cause adverse events such as nausea, vomiting and nervous system affections (excessive sedation, anxiety). Moreover, this gas is not always efficient for the pain management.

Other options have been investigated such as hypnosis and music therapy which improve patients' experience of the medical interventional procedures.

The virtual reality is a digital tool existing for about 10 years. It enables to isolate a patient from the real world which can be useful in some medical indications. It is a 3-D immersive experience, created using a visual and audio headset. Virtual reality can reduce the pain experienced during surgical interventions and has widely shown its interest in algogenic cares.

While the results are promising, a recent review of the literature shows that very few randomized clinical trials document the virtual reality benefit in pain and/or anxiety management for burn patients or patients suffering from acute or chronic pains.

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the benefit of the virtual reality in addition to a deep local anesthesia vs a deep local anesthesia alone in the pain management linked to musculoskeletal tumors biopsy.

What participants receive

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

  • Deep local anesthesia + Virtual realityProcedure or surgery

    Biopsy performed according to current practice (deep local anesthesia with premedication and lidocaïne). Patient will have a 3-D immersive experience, created using a visual and audio headset and a software labelled as medical device.

  • Deep local anesthesia aloneProcedure or surgery

    Biopsy performed according to current practice (deep local anesthesia with premedication and lidocaïne).

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the benefit of the virtual reality in the pain management of patients needing a radio-guided musculoskeletal biopsy.

    The main outcome will be the pain level auto-evaluated by the patient using a numeric scale composed of 11 graduations (from 0 to 10)

    Measured: Day 0

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Evaluate in both arms, the pain linked to the biopsy procedure using a numeric scale graduated from 0 to 10.

    The score " 0 " corresponds to " No pain " and the score " 10 " corresponds to " Maximum amount of imaginable pain "

    Measured: Day 1 (+/-2h) post biopsy

  2. Evaluate in both arms, the anxiety linked to the biopsy procedure using a numeric scale graduated from 0 to 10

    The score " 0 " corresponds to " No anxiety " and the score " 10 " corresponds to " Maximum imaginable anxiety "

    Measured: Day 0

  3. Evaluate the analgesics consumption in both arms

    Evaluation according to the following classification and recording the dosages and units taken: Level 1 - Non morphinic analgesics; Level 2 - Weak opioides analgesics; Level 3 - Strong opioides analgesic

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 24 hours

  4. Evaluate the global satisfaction of patients in both arms

    The score "0" corresponds to " Absence of satisfaction " and the score " 10 " corresponds to " Full satisfaction ".

    Measured: Day 0

  5. Evaluate costs in both arms

    Evaluation of costs involved for the patient's treatment and care

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Deep local anesthesia + Virtual reality and Deep local anesthesia alone in people with Musculoskeletal Cancers, run by Centre Leon Berard 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 7 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 23 Aug 2018. 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 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?

Evaluate the benefit of the virtual reality in the pain management of patients needing a radio-guided musculoskeletal biopsy. (time frame: Day 0). 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 23 Aug 2018.
