About this study

Official title: Time to Diagnosis of Glenohumeral Joint Dislocations in the Emergency Department- Traditional Radiography Versus Point-of-care Ultrasound

This is study to compare the time to diagnosis of glenohumeral joint dislocation using two imaging methods, traditional x-ray and point-of-care ultrasound. Participants who present at the emergency department complaining of shoulder injury and who are suspected of having a possible glenohumeral shoulder dislocation will be eligible for the study. A reduction of the joint will be performed if imaging findings so indicate. All participants will receive a post-reduction x-ray and be referred to appropriate follow-up care.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective comparison study evaluating the time to diagnosis of glenohumeral joint dislocation using two imaging modalities, traditional x-ray and point-of-care ultrasound. Eligible participants will include those who present to the emergency department with complaints of shoulder injury who are suspected by triage nursing of having a possible glenohumeral shoulder dislocation. Eligible participants will be consented by participating physicians and randomized into ultrasound or x-ray groups. If indicated based on the imaging findings, a reduction of the joint will be performed. All patients will receive a post-reduction x-ray and be referred to appropriate follow-up care based on the findings of their evaluation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to diagnosis of glenohumeral joint dislocations

    Comparison between point-of-care ultrasound and plain radiograph in time to diagnosis of glenohumeral joint dislocations who present to the emergency department

    Measured: 0 to 60 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time to reduction of dislocation joint

    Time from presentation in Emergency Department to treatment (reduction of joint dislocation)

    Measured: 1 to 6 hours

  2. Emergency Department Length of Stay

    Total time in Emergency Department

    Measured: 1 to 12 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Shoulder reduction in people with Glenohumeral Dislocation, run by University of Nebraska.

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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Time to diagnosis of glenohumeral joint dislocations (time frame: 0 to 60 minutes). 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 NCT05237167, 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 3 Sep 2024.
