About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Cotton vs. Waterproof Cast Padding After Application of Hip Spica: A Randomized Controlled Study

This study aims to: 1) investigate the effectiveness of waterproof spica cast using Delta-Dry® Pantaloon and cast padding (BSN medical, USA) versus standard gortex pantaloon with cotton cast padding in maintaining the femur fracture and developmental dysplasia of the hip reduction after application of hip spica; 2) evaluate the overall quality ratings of both cast paddings from the perspectives of the patient and the clinicians; and 3) determine the cost difference between the both cast paddings.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effectiveness as a measure of change in ratings at different time points

    The primary outcome (effectiveness) will be measured based on the change in ratings to the following variables/factors using a 10 point likert scale (1 being very poor and 10 being excellent):

    Comfort, Ability for the cast to dry if it became wet, Cast odor, Cast durability, Protection from skin irritation, Ease of care in the cast, Ease of Application, Padding Aesthetics, Application Time, Skin Condition, Lack of Maceration / Excoriation, Cast Odor, Padding Condition, and Ease of Removal.

    These will be collected at baseline, 2, 6 and 12 weeks post-application.

    Measured: Baseline, 2, 6 and 12 weeks post-application

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Quality

    The secondary outcome (quality) will be measured based on rating to the following using a 10 point likert scale (1 being very poor and 10 being excellent):

    Overall Quality

    Measured: Baseline, 2, 6 and 12 weeks post-application

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Delta Dry® Waterproof Pantaloon and Cotton Padding in people with Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip, run by Baylor College of Medicine 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 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 May 2023. 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.

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Effectiveness as a measure of change in ratings at different time points (time frame: Baseline, 2, 6 and 12 weeks post-application). 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 22 May 2023.
