Trial summary

Anterior shoulder dislocation (ASD) is a common situation in the emergency department (ED). Quick reductions lead to reduced mid and long term complications. No technique is superior to one another. Inhaled nitrous oxide can deal with pain reduction and anxiety but its efficacy is not optimal, with safety issues. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Virtual Reality Hypnosis Versus Inhaled Nitrous Oxide to Reduce Anterior Shoulder Dislocations: an Open Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

Anterior shoulder dislocation (ASD) is a common situation in the emergency department (ED). Quick reductions lead to reduced mid and long term complications. No technique is superior to one another. Inhaled nitrous oxide can deal with pain reduction and anxiety but its efficacy is not optimal, with safety issues. Virtual reality hypnosis (VRH), by distracting patients from their pain, may lead to a better muscular relaxation and an easier ASD reduction.

Our first objective is to evaluate the clinical interest of VHR compared to nitrous oxide, in ASD reduction. Our second objective is to evaluate the safety of VRH in ASD reduction.

Patients over 18 years presenting an ASD < 24 hours, will be illegible for enrollment in an open multicenter randomized controlled trial, conducted in the Great East Region in France.

What participants receive

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

  • Virtual reality hypnosisProcedure or surgery

    VRH offers predefined hypnosis sessions with no need of trained physician or nurse or caregiver mobilization. Consisting of a headset including headphones and a virtual reality screen, VRH allow patients to select a visual and sound environment (e.g.: tropical beach, space, underwater…) into which the hypnotic speech is delivered. That way, the patient's attention is distracted and muscular relaxation is obtained, a major relaxation factor. HRV is simple, quick, and presumably safe.

  • Nitrous oxideDrug

    inhalation of NO usually used to help with ASD reduction but inhaled NO has safety and maintenance issues.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Virtual reality hypnosis and Nitrous oxide in people with Shoulder Dislocation, run by CHU de Reims 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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2023. 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Stéphane GENNAI (03 26 78 87 10 ext. 0033, sgennai@chu-reims.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reduction of ASD procedure time (time frame: Day 0). 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 23 Feb 2023.
