About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Relationship Between Sense of Coherence and the Healing of Surgery-related Intraoral Wound by Using a Novel Scale: A Clinical Randomized Study.

The study aimed to investigate the relationship between sence of coherence (SOC) and surgery-related oral wound healing.

The study was consisted of one hundred and sixty patients of both sexes (female,male) who were scheduled for oral surgery. Pre-operatively the patients were asked to complete a questionnaire designed to measure their Sense of Coherence (SOC). The wound healing was evaluated after 4 days, 14 days and 6 weeks after surgical operation. The results were analyzed statistically.

Read the detailed description

Many factors play a role in wound healing (WH) including physiologic factors. The concept of Sense of Coherence (SOC), reflects an individual's capacity to respond to stressful situations. High SOC scores indicate a strong SOC, and individuals with strong SOC are reported to tolerate stress better. Additionally, a strong SOC has been associated with fewer symptoms and significantly fewer issues related to oral condition. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between SOC and wound healing following oral surgery. The study included 160 patients of both sexes (female,male). An informed consent form was obtained from all participants. Pre-operatively the patients were asked to complete a questionnaire designed to measure their Sense of Coherence (SOC). A blinded operator, who was not involved in the operation, recorded all data of the patients pre-operatively. All patients were undergone oral surgery. All surgical procedures were performed by the second maxillofacial surgeon. The first blinded operatoand conducted postoperative measurements. The wound healing was evaluated after 4 days, 14 days and 6 weeks after surgical operation. To evaluate of wound healing, a scale named Inflammatory Proliferative Remodeling (IPR) Scale was used. According to this scale, patients were recalled 3 days, 14 days and 6 weeks after surgical operation. The third blinded researcher was responsible for the analysis data.

What participants receive

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

  • Oral surgeryProcedure or surgery

    The patients were undergone routine oral surgeries. Surgical procedures included an incision on the oral mucosa and full-thickness flap reflection, and the primary wound closure was achieved by polyglactin absorbable sutures.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of Sence of Coherence

    Sence of Coherence (SOC) was measured using a 13-question survey, where participants rate their answers on a scale from 1 to 7, with 1 representing "never" and 7 indicating "very often." Total scores above 45 are regarded as indicative of high SOC values.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. Evaluation of Oral Wound Healing

    Wound Healing (WH) was assessed by using a scale called Inflammatory Proliferative Remodeling (IPR) Scale. According to the scale, each phase of the healing is scored based on the parameters, including edema, bleeding, swelling. The total score of the IPR scale ranges from 0 to 16; 0-4 indicates poor healing; 5-10, acceptable healing; and 11-16, excellent healing.

    Measured: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluation of post-operative pain

    To measure pain, participants were asked to describe their pain at follow-up appointments using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain.

    The numerical values obtained from these two scales were subjected to statistical analysis, to determine if there was a relationship between Sence of Coherence and post-operative pain.

    Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Wound Heal and Sense of Coherence, run by Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 5 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 10 Oct 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

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?

Evaluation of Sence of Coherence (time frame: 6 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06635031, 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 10 Oct 2024.
