About this study

Official title: Single Center Randomized Clinical Trial, That Evaluates the Effect of Osteopathic Care on Postoperative Pain in Children With Congenital Heart Disease Surgery

Osteopathic care impact on postoperative pain assessed by osteopathic session, evaluated by EVENDOL scale surgery on children with congenital heart disease

Read the detailed description

The management of pain in children after cardiac surgery is the key to ensure a better comfort and fast home return.

Aside drugs and psychology or physical therapy, no other alternative is proposed in the medico-surgical unit of pediatric cardiology at the Necker hospital.

Following a feasibility study within the department, osteopathic care showed significant pain reduction in postoperative surgery assessed through the EVENDOL scale.

The goal was mainly to improve mobility restricted areas due to the operation, and so help to reduce post-operative pain.

Investigators propose to continue the assessment of the overall osteopathic taking care of the child after heart surgery while retaining EVENDOL scale as primary endpoint. Population will include children from the age of 5 days to less than 7 years old.

Being tested
Osteopathy, superficial palpatory agreement
Medical subject headings
Heart Defects, Congenital

What participants receive

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

  • OsteopathyOther

    The treatment begins, if possible, on the body part of the child whose osteopathic score is the highest , with the least elasticity and mobility. Then the other restricted joints will be treated. The set of techniques will be carried out after palpation and appropriate tensioning. The various actions will be carried out on the tissues and joints who have been particularly affected by the operation.

    When a joint or tissue has a restricted mobility in a direction or a specific movement, it will require appropriate and gently manual correction, in order to reduce and improve its functionality.

  • superficial palpatory agreementOther

    The simulated treatment also begins with the body part of the child whose osteopathic score is the highest. Then the other restricted joints will be treated. The set of techniques will be carried out with the same investments as the tests , with a superficial palpatory agreement and without tensioning so that the restricted articulation or tissue will not be corrected

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of EVENDOL from day1 at day2

    Pain Rating Scale and discomfort in children, giving a score from 0 to 15 filled by doctor

    Measured: day 2

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Change of EVENDOL from day1 at day2

    Pain Rating Scale and discomfort in children, giving a score from 0 to 15 filled by children's parent (mother or father)

    Measured: day 2

  2. Change of Score OSCAR from day1 at day2 OS : for osteopathy CAR : for cardiopathy

    Osteopathic Scale assessing the mobility of each part of the body to give a final score OSCAR ranging from 0 to 45.

    Measured: day 2

  3. Change of Faces scale or Visual analog scale from day1 at day2

    Pain Rating Scale and discomfort in children giving a score from 0 to 10 filled by child

    Measured: day 2

  4. Change of Arterial Pressure from day1 at day2

    Measured: Day 2

  5. Change of Oxygen saturation from day1 at day2

    Measured: day2

  6. Change of cardiac frequency from day1 at day2

    Measured: day 2

  7. Change of cardiac breathing frequency from day1 at day2

    Measured: day2

  8. Analgesic intake at day1

    Doctor's drugs prescription

    Measured: day1

  9. Analgesic intake at day2

    Doctor's drugs prescription

    Measured: day2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Osteopathy and superficial palpatory agreement in people with Congenital Heart Disease, run by Hôpital Necker-Enfants Malades at 1 site in France.

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 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Feb 2017. 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 France. 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.

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?

Change of EVENDOL from day1 at day2 (time frame: day 2). 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 NCT02710825, 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 27 Feb 2017.
