About this study

Official title: Reduction of Anterior Glenohumeral Dislocation in Ventral Decubitus Versus Dorsal Decubitus Under Procedural Sedation : a Prospective Randomized Trial

The anterior glenohumeral dislocation is frequently encountered in emergency medicine. It represents about 50% of the total dislocation and affects 1 resident for 10 000 in France.

In Nord Franche-Comte Hospital, 1 to 2 patients per day present this diagnosis in the emergency department, which requires reduction by external manoeuvres.

A retrospective study shows the interest of the ventral decubitus compared to dorsal decubitus reduction in the care of patients with anterior glenohumeral dislocation. None prospective study has already demonstrate the interest of the ventral decubitus compared to the dorsal decubitus in the reduction of anterior glenohumeral dislocation.

The main objective is to evaluate the speed of the reduction of the anterior dislocation of the shoulder by the ventral decubitus technique compared to the conventional technique in dorsal decubitus.

What participants receive

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

  • reductionsProcedure or surgery

    Two reduction techniques are compared: dorsal decubitus and ventral decubitus reduction. The dorsal decubitus reduction consists in placing the patient in the dorsal position and achieving reduction by traction maneuvers on the luxated upper limb. This maneuver generally requires procedural sedation. A mild traction of the traumatized limb in the axis is performed, with slight external rotation and progressive abduction. In the absence of reduction at this stage, this gesture is completed by a flexion adduction of the limb. A counterweight is then made by a rolled sheet and passed under the armpit of the patient.

    The ventral decubitus reduction consists in placing the patient in the ventral position. The luxated limb is positioned in pendulum and the line of contact with the stretcher must pass through the mid-clavicular line. The humeral head is brought to the scapula.

What is being measured

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

  1. The main objective is to evaluate the speed of the reduction of the anterior dislocation of the shoulder by the ventral decubitus technique compared to the conventional technique in dorsal decubitus.

    The primary endpoint is the reduction time in minutes from inclusion of the patient after prior confirmation of the clinical and radiological diagnosis to the observed reduction.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Evaluation of the success rate of the ventral decubitus technique compared to the dorsal decubitus technique

    Failure rate of the ventral decubitus technique compared to the dorsal decubitus technique

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Evaluation of the consumption of sedative and analgesic treatments

    Quantification of doses of analgesics and sedatives used

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Evaluation of the time spent in emergency department

    Time spent in emergency department

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Evaluation of the pain felt before and after the intervention

    Pain sensibility before, during et after the reduction techniques : visual analog pain scale

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing reductions in people with Reduction and Emergencies, run by Hopital Nord Franche-Comte 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 3 inclusion and 8 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 27 Dec 2024. 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 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

The main objective is to evaluate the speed of the reduction of the anterior dislocation of the shoulder by the ventral decubitus technique compared to the conventional technique in dorsal decubitus. (time frame: 1 day). 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 27 Dec 2024.
