Trial summary

The number of patients with cochlear implants increases every year, constituting an active queue increasingly important (60 new cases per year in Toulouse, active list in 2013: 380 adult patients). The number of approved cochlear implant centers is limited by guardianships, and corresponds to the Hospitals University. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Organization of Ambulatory Telemonitoring of People With Hearing Loss and Having a Cochlear Implant.

The number of patients with cochlear implants increases every year, constituting an active queue increasingly important (60 new cases per year in Toulouse, active list in 2013: 380 adult patients). The number of approved cochlear implant centers is limited by guardianships, and corresponds to the Hospitals University. It is not possible to create networks of correspondents. Teams of implantation centers must meet the needs of new patients and ensure continuity of care for patients already implanted: speech therapy monitoring, adjustment and rehabilitation.

In case of malfunction of the implant, patients use in first-line reference center. The increasing number of patients leads to a lack of specialized teams that can not meet the demands of patients in a timely manner, while continuing to provide support for new patients. It is therefore necessary to find solutions to improve the service provided to patients who received a cochlear implant system to respond quickly and effectively to the request of troubled patients, while optimizing the workload of the teams . The introduction of a telemedicine platform is expected to achieve these goals, distinguishing minor malfunctions, not requiring a consultation in a center, and the most complex situations requiring consultation in a center.

Read the detailed description

The strategy of the study is to establish contact with the patient at home in case of problems through the establishment of a daily continuously in service by telephone contact and video calling.

There will be no change in the usual care of the patient. The monitoring center by health professionals (speech therapists, technicians and doctors ORL) in the cochlear implant center will operate a daily permanence of 5 half days on business days, to respond to a patient call.

Are excluded from this research, emergency management such as meningitis, which passes through the usual emergency lane.

What is being measured

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

  1. the number of movements avoided the center,

    number of contacts have avoided moving the patient to the center

    Measured: 12 months after the inclusion

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The delay for the identification of malfunction

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  2. The time spent by the health professional during a telemedicine session

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Deafness, run by University Hospital, Toulouse.

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 4 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?

the number of movements avoided the center, (time frame: 12 months after the inclusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
