About this study

Official title: Italian Translation and Cross-cultural Adaptation of the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are important clinical items for evaluating injuries and recovery of the hand. Some of the most used Questionnaires, unfortunately, are not available in Italian.

Read the detailed description

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are important clinical items for evaluating injuries and recovery of the hand. Some of the most used Questionnaires, unfortunately, are not available in Italian. This poses a problem when evaluating Italian speaking patients. Our aim is to develop a culturally adapted Italian version of the Michigan Hand Questionnaire. There is no risk involved for the patients, as the task of the recruited patients is to answer a survey (online and in clinics).

What participants receive

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

  • Questionaire MichiganOther

    Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are important clinical items for evaluating injuries and recovery of the hand. The Michigan Hand Questionnaire is one of the most important.

What is being measured

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

  1. Validity

    Validity will be assessed as structural validity, i.e., "the degree to which the scores of the Health-Related Patient Reported Outcome (HR-PRO) are an adequate reflection of the dimensionality of the construct to be measured" (Mokkink et al., 2010).

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Reliability

    Reliability will be assessed as internal consistency (i.e., "the degree of the interrelatedness among the items" [Mokkink et al., 2010]), test-retest reliability (i.e., "the proportion of the total variance in the measurements which is due to 'true' differences between patients" [Mokkink et al., 2010]), and measurement error (i.e., "the systematic and random error of a patient's score that is not attributed to true changes in the construct to be measured" [Mokkink et al., 2010]).

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hand Fracture and Hand Osteoarthritis, run by University of Zurich.

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 7 inclusion and 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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?

Validity (time frame: 3 months). 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 3 Jan 2022.
