About this study

Official title: Feasibility of the SINEX Program for Patients With Traumatic Anterior Shoulder Instability

An optimal treatment for traumatic anterior shoulder instability (TASI) remains to be identified. A shoulder instability neuromuscular exercise (SINEX) program has been designed for patients with TASI, but has not yet been tested in patients eligible for surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate and evaluate the feasibility and safety of the SINEX program for patients diagnosed with TASI and eligible for surgery.

A feasibility study with an experimental, longitudinal design using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Participants undergo the SINEX program, a twelve week exercise program including physiotherapist supervised sessions. Feasibility data on recruitment, retention, compliance, acceptability and safety was collected through observation and individual semi-structured interviews. Clinical tests and self-report questionnaires were completed at baseline and 12 weeks follow-up. Clinical assessments included apprehension and relocation tests, shoulder joint position sense (SJPS), shoulder sensorimotor control measured by center of pressure path length (COPL) on a force platform, isometric strength measured by Constant Score - Isometric Maximal Voluntary Contraction (CS-iMVC), self-report questionnaires included Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI), Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) and Global Perceived Effect questionnaire (GPE).

What is being measured

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

  1. Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI)

    change in shoulder quality of life

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK)

    Change in fear of movement and re-injury, numbers

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  2. Sensorimotor control measured by center of pressure path length (COPL)

    Change in shoulder stability, mm

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  3. Shoulder joint position sense (SJPS)

    Change in shoulder position stability, degrees

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  4. Isometric strength measured by Constant Score - Isometric Maximal Voluntary Contraction (CS-iMVC)

    Change in muscle strength, kg

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  5. Apprehension and relocation tests

    Change in anterior glenohumeral instability, positive/negative

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  6. Global Perceived Effect questionnaire (GPE)

    Impression of change, 1-7

    Measured: at 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sinex program (neuromuscular training program) in people with Anterior Shoulder Dislocation, run by Western Norway University of Applied Sciences at 1 site in Norway.

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 1 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 5 Nov 2019. 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 Norway. 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?

Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) (time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks). 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 NCT04152304, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Nov 2019.
