What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy on resting pain at the end of SCENAR application: NRS

    Self-assessment of pain using the pain numeric rating scale (NRS), on which patients rate their current pain intensity from 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("worst possible pain")

    Measured: 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Efficacy on pain at mobilization the end of SCENAR application: NRS

    Self-assessment of pain intensity using the pain numeric rating scale (NRS), on which patients rate their current pain intensity from 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("worst possible pain")

    Measured: 30 minutes

  2. Efficacy on anxiety the end of SCENAR application: NRS

    Self-assessment of anxiety using the pain numeric rating scale (NRS), on which patients rate their current anxiety from 0 ("no anxiety") to 10 ("worst possible anxiety")

    Measured: 30 minutes

  3. Efficacy on the sensation of spinal blockage at the end of SCENAR application: NRS

    Self-assessment of the sensation of spinal blockage using the numeric rating scale (NRS), on which patients rate their current blockage from 0 ("complete blockage") to 10 ("perfect mobility")

    Measured: 30 minutes

  4. Efficacy on resting pain on the following day: NRS

    Self-assessment of pain using the pain numeric rating scale (NRS), on which patients rate their current pain intensity from 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("worst possible pain")

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Efficacy on pain at mobilization on the following day: NRS

    Self-assessment of pain using the pain numeric rating scale (NRS), on which patients rate their current pain intensity from 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("worst possible pain")

    Measured: 1 day

  6. Efficacy on the sensation of spinal blockage on the following day: NRS

    Self-assessment of the sensation of spinal blockage using the numeric rating scale (NRS), on which patients rate their current anxiety from 0 ("complete blockage") to 10 ("perfect mobility")

    Measured: 1 day

  7. Efficacy on anxiety on the following day: NRS

    Self-assessment of anxiety using the numeric rating scale (NRS), on which patients rate their current anxiety from 0 ("no anxiety") to 10 ("worst possible anxiety")

    Measured: 1 day

  8. Collection of possible side effects

    Open question

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SCENAR application and SCENAR application with the device off in people with Pain Syndrome, run by Hopital Foch 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 13 inclusion and 0 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 8 Jan 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Efficacy on resting pain at the end of SCENAR application: NRS (time frame: 30 minutes). 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 8 Jan 2021.
