Slipping Rib Syndrome: A Clinical Entity to Consider in Chest Pain
An observational study of Slipping Rib Syndrome, run by AMS Centro Medico del Ejercicio at 1 site in Spain.
Trial summary
Slipping rib syndrome consists on false or floating ribs hypermobility, whose can force the ribs to come in contact with each other. The authors reported a fourteen case series presenting a slipping rib syndrome. Read more about this study

Read the detailed description
Slipping rib syndrome consists on false or floating ribs hypermobility, whose can force the ribs to come in contact with each other.
The authors reported a fourteen case series presenting a slipping rib syndrome. Mean age 35.00 ± 10.66 years old; 64.29% men.
The 10th rib level was the most predominant, affecting 64.29% of cases. Dynamic ultrasound was the gold standard diagnostic tool. Different conservative treatments were applied in most of cases.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Dynamic ultrasoundDiagnostic test
Diagnosis was based on clinic suspicion and positive ultrasonography dynamic maneuvers by reproducing pain and slipping rib exam
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Hypermobility level
Level of costal rib where there is hypermobility
Measured: 10 minutes
Secondary outcomes (3)
Sports
If the subject participates in some kind of sport activity
Measured: 1 minute
Pain mechanism
Pain mechanism could be "repetitive movement", "trauma" or "pregnancy"
Measured: 2 minutes
Diagnosis delay
Time of delay in have a diagnosis (in years)
Measured: 1 minute

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Slipping Rib Syndrome, run by AMS Centro Medico del Ejercicio at 1 site in Spain.
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 13 Jan 2020. 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 Spain. 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?
Hypermobility level (time frame: 10 minutes). 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 NCT04226638, which also lists 8 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?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jan 2020.
