Trial summary

Musculoskeletal conditions are a major cause of disability worldwide. These conditions are often associated with chronicity, which is a challenge for healthcare systems to address. Health care must be person-centred and take into account the individual perspective from which the disease is experienced. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparative Analysis of the Musculoskeletal Health of General Population in Poland and Spain: a Cross-sectional Study Using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Chronic Musculoskeletal Conditions

Musculoskeletal conditions are a major cause of disability worldwide. These conditions are often associated with chronicity, which is a challenge for healthcare systems to address. Health care must be person-centred and take into account the individual perspective from which the disease is experienced. The lived experience of health conditions depends to a large extent on contextual factors. Comparison between different contexts helps to identify which aspects are most relevant in the experience of the disease. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a unified language that allows such comparisons to be made. The aim of this study is to identify differences in musculoskeletal health between the Polish and Spanish populations using the ICF as a frame of reference.

Musculoskeletal conditions are a major cause of disability worldwide. These conditions are often associated with chronicity, which is a challenge for healthcare systems to address. Health care must be person-centred and take into account the individual perspective from which the disease is experienced. The lived experience of health conditions depends to a large extent on contextual factors.

The ICF is the framework proposed by the World Health Organization to describe the organic changes caused by a condition and the modulating effect of contextual factors on the resulting disability. The ICF core sets are tools that facilitate the use of this classification in clinical practice. The ICF core sets have been developed for a wide range of health conditions, but there has traditionally been a lack of validation studies. In recent years, studies have been developed using ICF core sets for musculoskeletal conditions in different populations. In particular, the musculoskeletal health of the Polish and Spanish populations has been assessed using the brief ICF core set for post-acute musculoskeletal conditions. This availability of data allows comparisons to be made of the health status of these populations using the ICF as a frame of reference. This possibility of using ICF for this purpose is unknown in the scientific literature and could contribute to the identification of the aspects that are most relevant in the experience of the health condition.

The aim of this study is to identify differences in musculoskeletal health between the Polish and Spanish populations using the ICF as a frame of reference. The development of this study also has the aim of providing the methodological basis for the development of transnational comparisons on the basis of the ICF.

What is being measured

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

  1. Brief International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) core set for post-acute musculoskeletal conditions

    The core set of codes cover categories, including Body Functions, Activities and Participation and Environment Factors. All codes from each category are quantitatively assessed with qualifiers using the same scale denoting the severity of the problem or the magnitude of the impairment on a scale of 0 to 4 (xxx.0 NO problem; xxx.1 MILD problem; xxx.2 MODERATE problem; xxx.3 SEVERE problem; xxx.4 COMPLETE problem; xxx.8 not specified and xxx.9 not applicable).

    Measured: 2024-01/2024-07

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Sociodemographic data of the sample (nationality, age, sex, education level, work status, number of comorbidities)

    Measured: 2024-01/2024-07

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Musculoskeletal Diseases or Conditions, run by University of Rzeszow at 1 site in Poland.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 1 Mar 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 Poland. 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 Agnieszka Wiśniowska-Szurlej, PhD (+ 48 604 181 162, agwisniowska@ur.edu.pl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Brief International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) core set for post-acute musculoskeletal conditions (time frame: 2024-01/2024-07). 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 NCT06283407, 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.

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 1 Mar 2024.
