About this study

Official title: Observation of In-home Continuous Monitoring of Human Physiology and Self-reported Pain Score Among Knee Replacement, Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Knee Arthroscopy & Foot & Ankle Related Surgery Patients

The aim of this observational study is to assess whether patient reported pain levels correlate with a Pain Index derived from deviations in multivariate physiology biomarkers captured in real-world setting. This study will be conducted using a clinical-grade wearable sensor to continuously monitor patient's physiology (pain related biomarkers) and allow subject participant to actively report their pain score, symptoms and quality of life using a mobile-based application.

Read the detailed description

The designated clinical-grade wearable sensor used in this study is the Biovotion Everion MD (See Annex for product description), a Bluetooth-compatible device that will automatically sync with the mobile application used in this study.

This study will recruit 55 patients aged 21 to 80 years who will be undergoing knee replacement, Anterior Cruciate Ligament(ACL), Knee Arthroscopy and Foot \& Ankle related surgery. All study participants will be followed for an estimated total of 30 days(+6/-2 days, if visit schedule is fall on weekend), beginning four days before surgery, the entire period as an in-patient (four to five days), and 20-days post-discharge.

The changes in multivariate physiological biomarkers will be used to generate a Pain Index, and the Pain Index will be assessed against patient reported Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain.

Being tested
Continuous physiology monitoring in ambulatory setting pre and post surgery
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • Continuous physiology monitoring in ambulatory setting pre and post surgeryDevice

    This study will recruit 55 patients aged 21 to 80 years who will be undergoing total knee replacement surgery. All study participants undergoing total knee replacement surgery will be monitored using the wearable biosensor to continuously monitor physiology biomarkers. Participants will be followed for an estimated total of 39 days, beginning four days before surgery, the entire period during in-patient recovery (four to five days), and 30-days post-discharge at-home.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain Correlation (using binary pain classification)

    Agreement between patient-reported NRS pain (classified into None-Mild and Moderate-Severe) and Pain Index, measured using Kappa statistic.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pain Correlation in Opioid Medication Subgroup

    Agreement between patient-reported NRS pain and Pain Index in patients using opioid medication for post-surgical pain relief, measured using Kappa statistic.

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Pain Correlation (3 pain categories)

    Agreement between patient-reported NRS pain (classified into None-Mild, Moderate and Severe) and Pain Index, measured using Kappa statistic.

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Knee Arthroplasty, run by Biofourmis Singapore Pte Ltd. at 1 site in Singapore.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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 27 Oct 2022. 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 Singapore. 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?

Pain Correlation (using binary pain classification) (time frame: 30 days). 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 27 Oct 2022.
