Trial Outcomes & Findings for Single Shot Versus OnQ Pump in Extremity Fractures (NCT NCT02280291)

NCT ID: NCT02280291

Last Updated: 2020-03-30

Results Overview

The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between 0 ("no pain") and 10 ("worst pain").

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 weeks, 6 weeks

Population: Some of the number of participants analyzed differs from the overall number analyzed because some participants were lost to follow up.

The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between 0 ("no pain") and 10 ("worst pain").

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 Weeks, 6 Weeks

Population: Data was not collected for the Ankle SSB and Ankle OnQ arms, as the DASH scale is upper extremity-specific (including only arm, shoulder, and hand disabilities).

The disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) questionnaire is a self-administered region-specific outcome instrument developed as a measure of self-rated upper-extremity disability and symptoms. The DASH consists mainly of a 30-item disability/symptom scale, scored 0 (no disability) to 100.
