About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized-controlled Trial of Custom-manufactured vs. Off-the-rack (OTR) Compression Hosiery for Initial Management of Venous Disease

The purpose of this research study is to assess the efficacy of custom-manufactured compression hosiery (also known as compression stockings) compared to similar off-the-rack (OTR) compression stockings.

Conditions
Venous Disease
Being tested
Custom-manufactured compression hosiery (Isobar), Off-the-rack stockings (Sigvaris)

What participants receive

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

  • Custom-manufactured compression hosiery (Isobar)Device

    The custom-fitted garment is manufactured specifically for each patient based on measurements taken with a 3-dimensional volumetric laser scan of the extremity, and can be sized individually to each limb.

  • Off-the-rack stockings (Sigvaris)Device

    Currently available off-the-rack compression hosiery are manufactured in eight fixed sizes (S-XLFC) that cannot be varied in size over their length to accommodate unusual anatomic patterns (eg., small ankle with large calf or vice versa) and may not achieve a comfortable fit that meets the compression goal over a uniform distribution of the limb.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain Management Experienced During Their Postoperative Care as Assessed by Five-point Satisfaction Scale

    Five-point satisfaction scale consists of patients rating their overall postoperative pain management experience using a 5-point rating system. The scale ranges from 1 to 5, with 1 being "extremely dissatisfied", 2 "somewhat dissatisfied", 3 "Neutral/Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied", 4 "somewhat satisfied" and 5 "extremely satisfied" with their postoperative pain care.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. Pain Management Experienced During Their Postoperative Care as Assessed by Five-point Satisfaction Scale

    Five-point satisfaction scale consists of patients rating their overall postoperative pain management experience using a 5-point rating system. The scale ranges from 1 to 5, with 1 being "extremely dissatisfied", 2 "somewhat dissatisfied", 3 "Neutral/Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied", 4 "somewhat satisfied" and 5 "extremely satisfied" with their postoperative pain care.

    Measured: 90 days

  3. Pain Management Experienced During Their Postoperative Care as Assessed by Five-point Satisfaction Scale

    Five-point satisfaction scale consists of patients rating their overall postoperative pain management experience using a 5-point rating system. The scale ranges from 1 to 5, with 1 being "extremely dissatisfied", 2 "somewhat dissatisfied", 3 "Neutral/Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied", 4 "somewhat satisfied" and 5 "extremely satisfied" with their postoperative pain care.

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Pain as Assessed by Brief Pain Inventory

    The Brief Pain Inventory is a medical questionnaire used to measure pain, developed by the Pain Research Group of the World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Symptom Evaluation in Cancer Care.

    The score is an average of seven questions about pain interference in life. The score scale is from 0 to 10. 0 being pain does not interfere and 10 being that it completely interferes. 10 would be a worst outcome.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Custom-manufactured compression hosiery (Isobar) and Off-the-rack stockings (Sigvaris) in people with Venous Disease, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston 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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Feb 2020. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Feb 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Management Experienced During Their Postoperative Care as Assessed by Five-point Satisfaction Scale (time frame: 6 weeks). The study lists 19 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 17 Feb 2020.
