Trial summary

The bone marrow aspiration and biopsy (BMAB) is an essential and indispensable examination for the diagnosis and the follow-up of the hematological diseases but which remains painful and dread by the patients. Until then it was performed manually using a trocar. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study of the Impact of Sophrology on the Pain Felt During a Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy

The bone marrow aspiration and biopsy (BMAB) is an essential and indispensable examination for the diagnosis and the follow-up of the hematological diseases but which remains painful and dread by the patients. Until then it was performed manually using a trocar. It is now practiced most often using a tool (like a small drill), device that pierces through the external iliac bone to extract a bone cylinder that will be analyzed

If the gesture is faster than with the manual method, it remains overall painful and the noise generated by the drill that passes through the periosteum of the iliac bone is impressive for the patient.

Prevention measures to limit pain and anxiety are put in place during the examination: local anesthesia, with or without a lidocaine patch, as well as inhalation of a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen (MEOPA®). These, recommended by the "Standards, Options, Recommendation" (SOR) often remain insufficient and are not devoid of undesirable effects.

Despite these precautions, several studies show that the action remains painful and anxiety-provoking.

An exploratory survey carried out in the hematology department of the François Baclesse Center in 2013 confirms these results and specifies that the pain remains present for another 30 minutes after the examination.

The investigators believe that associating a psycho-corporeal technique, as is sophrology, with the usual care, could contribute to the decrease of the threshold of pain and anxiety during the BMAB and avoid the use of a premedication.

The effectiveness of sophrology as a complementary technique in the field of pain prevention in invasive procedures is recognized by observations and clinical results. This complementary therapy, among others, has its place in the hospital.

To date, to investigator's knowledge, there is no published, randomized study evaluating the effectiveness of sophrology on pain in invasive procedures.

The investigators propose a study whose main objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of a session of sophrology on the pain felt during the realization of the BMAB, in patients with hematological malignancy. This session will be provided by a sophrologist nurse This study should include 90 patients undergoing a BMAB over a 24-month period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual analog scale (VAS) score of the pain felt by the patient during the gesture of performing the BMAB

    This is a self-assessment. This scale has two sides. On one side, the patient identifies his pain with a ruler, left (no pain) right (the strongest pain he has ever felt).

    On the other hand, the caregiver raises the corresponding score from 0 to 10. Pain will bemeasured a posteriori (not possible to evaluate during the sophrology sesssion)

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Numerical score (NS) of anxiety of the patient before the BMAB

    The same scale is used to measure anxiety

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing sophrology in people with Hematologic Diseases and Diagnoses Disease, run by University Hospital, Caen 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 3 Mar 2022. 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. 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?

Visual analog scale (VAS) score of the pain felt by the patient during the gesture of performing the BMAB (time frame: Baseline). 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 3 Mar 2022.
