About this study

This study evaluates the effect of Expanded Pedicled Deltopectoral Flap on facial-cervical scars repair, including flap sensation, L*a*b* value,flap's elasticity,melanin content, hemoglobin content, and evaluation of scar and patient, doctor, and third-party satisfaction

Read the detailed description

The scars of face and neck caused by burning often show as large faciocervical scar.Important areas of current focus in face and neck scars management are functional outcomes and quality of patient life.The deltopectoral flap was first described by Bakamjian in 1965, and was recognized as one of the first choices for facial reconstruction, as the texture, color of the flap skin is similar to the facial skin. Since the tissue expansion technique was used to the flap, the flap became one of the best choices for the facial defect reconstruction,especially for Asian patients. It can be used with pedicled or free transferred.Complications at the donor or recipient site have been widely reported and often include dilator exposure,the flap blood circulation disorder and delayed healing, but the pattern of sensory recovery ,flap's elasticitycolor change have been studied less well.

What is being measured

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

  1. Flap Color（the value of L*a*b*）

    The Antera 3D is a camera for image acquisition and analysis of the skin.Every color is expressed in a three-dimensional coordinate system in terms of three units. L* expresses the luminance and gives the relative brightness of the color ranging from total black (L* ¼ 0) to total white (L* ¼ 100).The terms a* and b* are coordinates of chromaticity, with a* representing the balance between green (negative values)and red (positive values) and b* representing the balance between blue (negative values) and yellow (positive values)

    Measured: 3 month later

Secondary outcomes (8)

  1. Temperature

    Test tubes were equilibrated in water at 0◦C (cold) or 45-50 ◦C (warm) and applied for 5 s.

    Measured: 3 month later

  2. Light Touch

    The tactile sensation of the flap after surgery is assessed by Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments and the change in tactile sense is detected at least 3 months after surgery.

    Measured: 3 month later

  3. Two-point Discrimination（2PD）

    Two-point Discrimination of the flap after surgery was assessed by Touch-Test discriminator, and changes in 2PD were detected at least 3 months after surgery.

    Measured: 3 month later

  4. Flap Elasticity

    The elasticity of the flap after surgery was assessed by CK-MC960 and the change in elasticity was measured at least 3 months after surgery.

    Measured: 3 month later

  5. Melanin Content

    The melanin content of the flap after surgery was evaluated by Antera 3D, and the change of melanin was detected at least 3 months after surgery.

    Measured: 3 month later

  6. Hemoglobin Content

    The hemoglobin content of the flap after surgery was evaluated by Antera 3D, and the change of melanin was detected at least 3 months after surgery.

    Measured: 3 month later

  7. Satisfaction questionnaire

    At least 3 months after the patient's surgery, use a self-made satisfaction questionnaire to obtain patient satisfaction

    Measured: 3 month later

  8. Scar scaling

    The scar around the flap after surgery was evaluated by Patient and Observer Scar Assessment and the scar was assessed at least 6 months after surgery.

    Measured: 6 month later

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 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 China. 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?

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?

Flap Color（the value of L*a*b*） (time frame: 3 month later). 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 NCT03735641, which also lists 21 linked publications.

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?
