About this study

Official title: Interventions to Prevent Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes From Long-term Complications. A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of diabetes management training combined with the method of Motivational Interviewing with elements of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and E-mail support in the treatment of type 1 diabetes in adolescents (age range 13-20 years) compared to a control group. The investigators assess motivational changes and effects on metabolic control.

Read the detailed description

Diabetes mellitus type1 requires lifelong insulin substitution, aiming at near normal glycaemia. Insufficient metabolic control (HbA1c > 8 %) leads to micro and macro- vascular complications. Especially in adolescence a lack of compliance leads to deteriorated metabolic control. Motivational factors play a pivotal role in this age-group, however they have neither been studied so far nor considered in interventions with diabetes patients.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate in a multi-centred randomized controlled trial the effectiveness of diabetes management training with the method of Motivational Interviewing with elements of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and E-mail support.

Sixty adolescents within the age group of 13-20 years and HbA1c levels > 8 % will - after a refresher course in diabetes education - be involved to 2-weekly individual interventions sessions including motivational interviewing and CBT-modules with a psychologist and weekly e-mail support for a period of six month in order to improve HbA1c levels, self- efficacy in diabetes management and general quality of life.

As control group sixty adolescents within the age group of 13-20 years and HbA1c levels > 8 will - after a refresher course in diabetes education - get treatment as usual, including routine medical support visits, unspecific psychological consultations and unspecific e-mail support to match with the intervention group for time bonus.

We assess motivational changes and effects on metabolic control (HbA1c) and define the predictors of positive effects on glycaemic control.

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Motivational Interviewing, CBT and E-mail support in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

HbA1C (time frame: after 8 months). 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 27 Sep 2012.
