What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Educational video - ActiveBehavioural
The active video will instruct parents in techniques related to optimal infant soothing.
Educational Video - ShamBehavioural
The sham video will provide general information about immunization immunization pain management.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Hypersensitivity to pain
This will be assessed by comparing the pain scores between each active group and the placebo group at 15 months
Measured: At 15 month vaccination (Visit 5)
Secondary outcomes (1)
Effectiveness of interventions
This will be assessed by comparing the pain scores between groups
Measured: At 2,4,6,12 month vaccinations (Visit 1-4)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Educational video - Active and Sucrose in people with Pain, run by The Hospital for Sick Children at 2 sites in Canada.
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 1 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 10 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in Canada. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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 Anna Taddio, PhD (416-813-6235, anna.taddio@sickkids.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Hypersensitivity to pain (time frame: At 15 month vaccination (Visit 5)). 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 NCT01503060, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 Nov 2015.
