About this study
Official title: Comparison of Follow-up by Mobile Application or Paper Questionnaire of Patients Undergoing Rotator Cuff Surgery: Monocentric, Prospective, Randomized Study
This study evaluate if in an outpatient rotator cuff surgery, can the use of mobile app compared to conventional paper questionnaire improve follow-up care in the first 90-days following surgery.
Read the detailed description
Rotator cuff surgery is a painful arthroscopic surgery. In outpatient surgery, the surgeons have to increase the security and surveillance after the surgery to reassure the patient and avoid complications.
Most patients receiving ambulatory rotator cuff surgery have high pain score, and management and aspects of the rehabilitation can be challenging. However, regular follow-up is still considered important in the early post-operative phase. In between the conventional appointment 6 weeks post op and 12 weeks post op, the surgeons have no status of the patient, and no markers to check if the postoperative care is evolving right.
Currently, the investigators are using a mobile application (Orthense by Digikare, Blagnac, France) to complement in-person postoperative follow-up care for patients.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Orthense, Orthense, Digikare Inc. Blagnac, France and Questionnaire in people with Rotator Cuff Injuries, run by L'Institut de Recherche en Chirurgie Orthopédique et Sportive 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 14 Jan 2021. 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?
Return rate (time frame: 6 weeks postoperative). 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 NCT04359160, which also lists 6 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 14 Jan 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
