About this study

Official title: Pilot Study on the Evaluation of Sound Conduction of Healthy Infant Hips and Those With Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)

The objective of this study is to collect data that will be used to later design a method for the early diagnosis of diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).

Read the detailed description

This will be a prospective study using an acoustic listening technique in combination with a standard clinical examination of DDH.

For both the clinical cases and healthy children that are enrolled, that all subjects will have an ultrasound completed for comparison to the use of the studied tuning fork method. The gold standard is POCUS (point of care ultrasound as performed by the pediatric orthopedic surgeon). Collected data will be compared to POCUS as performed by an expert and this is standard of care. Healthy subjects will be referred for evaluation and found to be healthy on subsequent US.

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in soundwaves on the Actuator on patella, sensor on sacrum

    Descriptive statistics will be used to evaluate sound wave characteristics in infants with healthy hips. Inferential statistics will be used to compare the relationship between soundwave characteristics and diagnostic findings

    Measured: Study visit 1 (Day 1)

  2. Difference in soundwaves on the Actuator on patella, sensor on anterior superior iliac crest of pelvis

    Descriptive statistics will be used to evaluate sound wave characteristics in infants with healthy hips. Inferential statistics will be used to compare the relationship between soundwave characteristics and diagnostic findings

    Measured: Study visit 1 (Day 1)

  3. Difference in soundwaves on the Actuator on greater trochanter, sensor on sacrum

    Descriptive statistics will be used to evaluate sound wave characteristics in infants with healthy hips. Inferential statistics will be used to compare the relationship between soundwave characteristics and diagnostic findings

    Measured: Study visit 1 (Day 1)

  4. Difference in soundwaves on the Actuator on greater trochanter, sensor on anterior superior iliac crest

    Descriptive statistics will be used to evaluate sound wave characteristics in infants with healthy hips. Inferential statistics will be used to compare the relationship between soundwave characteristics and diagnostic findings

    Measured: Study visit 1 (Day 1)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Acoustical Resonance Device in people with Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.

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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2024. 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 United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Study terminated upon departure of PI from Sponsoring Institution.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Difference in soundwaves on the Actuator on patella, sensor on sacrum (time frame: Study visit 1 (Day 1)). The study lists 4 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 4 Nov 2024.
