Trial Outcomes & Findings for Reciprocating Medical Devices - a Study of a New Safety Device (NCT NCT00651625)

NCT ID: NCT00651625

Last Updated: 2016-03-02

Results Overview

0-10 cm VAS pain scale at 2 weeks compared to 0-10 cm VAS pain scale at 0 weeks where 0= no pain, and 10 = the worst pain imaginable. The difference (2 week VAS-0 week VAS) is the primary outcome measure.

Measure
1Conventional Syringe
The intervention is the use of the reciprocating procedure device (RPD) with and without ultrasound guidance in a syringe and needle procedure in comparison to a conventional syringe. The RPD is used to performed the syringe and needle procedure and outcome (effect of procedure (pain scores at 2 weeks and 6 months compared to preprocedural pain scores), and procedural pain (pain scores during procedure) - are determined. Thus, pain scores as measured by the standard 10 cm Visual Analogue Pain Score are used to primary outcome as is standard in the field of pain. These scores from the two treatment arms are then compared statistically with each other by appropriate methods. It is hypothesized that the RPD will be more effective (reduced pain scores at 2 weeks and 6 months) and less pain (reduced procedural pain scores) compared to the same procedure with the conventional syringe.
2RPD Syring
Conventional Syringe - The conventional syringe is used to performed the syringe and needle procedure and outcome (effect of procedure (pain scores at 2 weeks and 6 months compared to preprocedural pain scores), and procedural pain (pain scores during procedure) are determined). The comparison is with the same procedure performed with the RPD syringe with and without ultrasound. It is hypothesized that the RPD will be more effective (reduced pain scores at 2 weeks and 6 months) and less pain (reduced procedural pain scores) compared to the same procedure with the conventional syringe.
