About this study

Official title: Effects of a Venous Thromboembolism Prevention Program on the Occurrence of Venous Thromboembolism in Patients With Spinal Cord Disorders

The goal of this quasi-experimental study is to examine the effects of a venous thromboembolism prevention program, or "5E" program, on the rates of venous thromboembolism in patients with spinal cord disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Will participants receiving the 5E program have lower rates of venous thromboembolism compared to those receiving the usual care?
  • Will participants receiving the 5E program have lower scores of venous thromboembolism signs and symptoms compared to those receiving the usual care?
  • Will the average thigh and calf circumferences of participants before and after receiving the 5E program be different?

Participants in the intervention group will receive the 5E program, including

  • Education: health education regarding venous thromboembolism prevention
  • Elevation: leg elevation of 10-20 degrees
  • Exercise: ankle exercises
  • Enough fluid: adequate fluid uptake
  • Early application of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC): IPC use within 48 hours after admission

What is being measured

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

  1. The rate of venous thromboembolism

    The diagnosis of venous thromboembolism is confirmed by a Doppler ultrasound scan of the femoral vein and popliteal vein by a physician working at the study site. The physician will record the results in the data record form.

    Measured: The day before implementing the intervention and at 7 days after implementing intervention

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Signs and symptoms of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism

    The Well's Score for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) includes clinical parameters: active cancer or palliative (+1), paralysis (+1), recently bedridden for more than 3 days (+1), localized tenderness (+1), entire leg swelling (+1), calf swelling more than 3 cm compared with asymptomatic leg (+1), pitting edema (+1), previous DVT documented (+1), collateral superficial veins (non-varicose) (+1), and alternative diagnosis (-2).

    The Modified Well's Score for pulmonary embolism (PE) includes the following criteria: clinical signs and symptoms of DVT (3); an alternative diagnosis is less likely than PE (3); a heart rate greater than 100 (1.5); immobilization for 3 or more consecutive days (1.5); previous objectively diagnosed PE or DVT (1.5); hemoptysis (1); and malignancy (1).

    Measured: The day before implementing the intervention and Day 1 - Day 7 after implementing intervention

  2. Thigh and calf circumference

    Thigh and calf circumferences will be measured in centimeters using the standardized measuring tape. The assistant researcher will record the results in the data record form.

    Measured: The day before implementing the intervention and Day 1 - Day 7 after implementing intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 5E program in people with Venous Thromboembolism and Spinal Cord Diseases, run by Khon Kaen University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 4 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 13 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 Thailand. 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 Wiphawadee Potisopha, Ph.D. (+660954291592, wiphpo@kku.ac.th), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The rate of venous thromboembolism (time frame: The day before implementing the intervention and at 7 days after implementing intervention). 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 13 Mar 2024.
