What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Point of care ultrasoundDiagnostic test
Patients will receive a point of care ultrasound at the bedside in the Emergency Department and compare the impression to the x ray result

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?
Comparison of X ray to Ultrasound for Shoulder Reduction (time frame: through study completion up to 1 year). 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?
