What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Pain Scores on Postoperative Day 2, as Measured by the Wong-Baker 0-to-10 Pain Scale

    Change in pain scores obtained with the Wong-Baker 0-to-10 pain scale between the 2 groups on postoperative day 2. The Wong-Baker 0-to-10 pain scale is used for rating the severity of pain, with scores ranging from 0 to 10, and higher scores indicating greater severity of pain.

    Measured: Baseline, 2 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Health-related Quality of Life Scores on Postoperative Days 3 and 6, as Measured by an Adapted APS-POQ-R Questionnaire

    Change in health-related quality of life associated with pain obtained with an adapted version of the APS-POQ-R (APS Patient Outcome Questionnaire) between the 2 groups on postoperative days 3 and 6. The APS-POQ-R is a questionnaire used for rating health-related quality of life associated with pain, with scores of each domain ranging from 0 to 10 or 0% to 100%, and higher scores indicating greater severity of impact on quality of life (12 domains summed up for total score range of minimum 0 to maximum 120).

    Measured: 3 days, 6 days (end of study)

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 9 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 28 Sep 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 United States. 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 this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Sep 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change From Baseline in Pain Scores on Postoperative Day 2, as Measured by the Wong-Baker 0-to-10 Pain Scale (time frame: Baseline, 2 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05544734, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
