About this study

Non-contrast MRI with T2 fat suppression has been a useful imaging modality in evaluation spinal trauma.

However, the role of contrast enhancement has not investigated in patients with spinal trauma.

Therefore, this prospective study aims to evaluate the usefulness of contrast enhanced MRI for spinal trauma W/U clinically.

The study hypothesis is that there is no additional gain in addition of contrast enhanced study to routine non-contrast MRI.

What is being measured

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

  1. The rate (%) of change of treatment option between non-surgery vs. surgery, after review of enhanced MRI finding, compared with non-enhanced MRI only

    The rate (%) of change of treatment option between non-surgery vs. surgery, after review of enhanced MRI finding, compared with non-enhanced MRI only

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Confidence level

    Confidence level (1, definitely negative; 2, probably negative; 3, equivocal; 4, probably positive; 5, definitely positive) for lesion of spinal body, posterior compartment, soft tissue (posterior ligamentous complex of thoracolumbar spine and discoligamentous complex of cervical spine), spinal cord, and epidural/subdural hematoma/hemorrhage

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Diagnostic accuracy of non-enhanced and enhanced MRI

    Diagnostic accuracy of non-enhanced and enhanced MRI in patients with operations for each anatomical lesion (e.g. fracture of body, fracture of posterior compartment, soft tissue injury, cord injury, and epidural/subdural hematoma)

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Inter- and intra-reader agreement of confidence level

    Inter- and intra-reader agreement of confidence level between non-enhanced and enhanced MRI

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Trauma, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 2 sites in South Korea.

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 8 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 5 Oct 2018. 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 South Korea. 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?

The rate (%) of change of treatment option between non-surgery vs. surgery, after review of enhanced MRI finding, compared with non-enhanced MRI only (time frame: 2 months). 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?
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 5 Oct 2018.
