About this study

Since psychiatry is still too often confronted with a dichotomy between psyche and soma, the assessment of pain and anxiety at RMI is still rarely done (Willer et al., 1982). The objective of this exploratory study is to evaluate the influence of pharmacological factors (type of injected molecules, injection frequency, injection site, treatment duration, treatment dose, time since last injection) and individual about the pain perceived when injecting antipsychotic therapy (diagnosis, sex, age, weight, duration of illness, level of anxiety, psychiatric and somatic comorbidity, insight). In the future, this study will develop a suitable procedure to limit pain and anxiety during RMI. Taking these dimensions into account will probably allow a better compliance of patients for this type of care, and thus a decrease in the number of relapses in the long term.

What participants receive

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

    During the first injection, the patient will make END scale for 5 seconds, EVAF scale for 10 seconds and insight scale for 5 minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Digital Scale of Pain (END)

    This scale will assess pain at the injection site before and after intramuscular injection of neuroleptic treatment delay.

    This scale ranges from 0 (none pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). It will only take 5 seconds for the subject. This scale has good concurrent validity because it is highly correlated with others pain measurement tools (Haefeli \& Elfering, 2006), including the analog visual scale of pain (r=0.95; p<0.001; Bahreini et al., 2015).

    Measured: At the first visit during the first injection of treatment delay . It will take 5 seconds

  2. The Digital Scale of Pain (END)

    This scale will assess pain at the injection site before and after intramuscular injection of neuroleptic treatment delay.

    This scale ranges from 0 (none pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). It will only take 5 seconds for the subject. This scale has good concurrent validity because it is highly correlated with others pain measurement tools (Haefeli \& Elfering, 2006), including the analog visual scale of pain (r=0.95; p<0.001; Bahreini et al., 2015).

    Measured: At the second visit during the first injection of treatment delay . It will take 5 seconds

  3. Facial Anxiety Visual Scale (EVAf)

    This scale Assess patient anxiety before and after intramuscular injection of delayed neuroleptic therapy. It was developed by Cao et al., (2017).

    It is a self-assessment scale of the severity of anxiety representing facial expression during anxiety.

    Six faces represent different expressions of anxiety: "No anxiety", "Mild anxiety", Mild to Moderate Anxiety, Moderate Anxiety, Moderate to High Anxiety, and High Anxiety.

    Measured: At the first visit during the first injection of treatment delay . It will take10 seconds.

  4. Facial Anxiety Visual Scale (EVAf)

    This scale Assess patient anxiety before and after intramuscular injection of delayed neuroleptic therapy. It was developed by Cao et al., (2017).

    It is a self-assessment scale of the severity of anxiety representing facial expression during anxiety.

    Six faces represent different expressions of anxiety: "No anxiety", "Mild anxiety", Mild to Moderate Anxiety, Moderate Anxiety, Moderate to High Anxiety, and High Anxiety.

    Measured: At the second visit during the first injection of treatment delay . It will take 10 seconds.

  5. Insight scale (BIS)

    This scale will assess the knowledge of the disease, the insight of patients, prior to intramuscular injection of neuroleptic therapy delay to Visit 1 (V1). This questionnaire developed by Birchwood et al. (1994), translated and validated in French by Linder and Favrod, (2006),will allow a quick self-assessment of the patient's insight. It consists of 8 items with a duration of 5 minutes. The person can choose between 3 answers for each item: "Agree", "In disagreement", "Uncertaine".

    The score is obtained by adding the score of the items:

    • Maximum score = 12 - Very good insight
    • 9 and above = good insight
    • Minimum score = 0 - No insight

    Measured: At the first visit during the first injection of treatment delay . It will take5 minutes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing first injection delay and second injection delay in people with Delayed Antipsychotic Treatment, Pharmacological Factors and Individual Factors, run by Centre hospitalier de Ville-Evrard, France at 1 site in France.

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 6 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?

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Digital Scale of Pain (END) (time frame: At the first visit during the first injection of treatment delay . It will take 5 seconds). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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?
