About this study

Official title: Study of Accuracy of Ultrasonography in Determining the Adequacy of Distal Radius Fracture Reduction

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether ultrasonography guidance compare with the simple radiography aids in determining the adequacy of distal radius fracture reduction.

Read the detailed description

Distal radius fracture is one of the most common causes for visiting the emergency department. Nowadays, simple radiography is used as a control standard for evaluating reduction of distal radius fractures. The disadvantages include time wasting, frequent x-ray exposures and use of more sedation in determining adequate reduction, made scientists to evaluate alternative method such as ultrasonography which fast, easy and less dangerous were considered as advantages. The investigators goal was to identify whether ultrasonography guidance compare with the simple radiography aids in determining the adequacy of distal radius fracture reduction.

What is being measured

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

  1. adequacy of distal radius fracture reduction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ultrasonography in people with Distal Radius Fracture, run by Isfahan University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Iran.

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 6 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 4 Apr 2013. 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 Iran. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

adequacy of distal radius fracture reduction (time frame: at 5 min after admission time). 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 4 Apr 2013.
