Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Comparison of Custom-manufactured vs. Off-the-rack (OTR) Compression Hosiery for Initial Management of Venous Disease (NCT NCT03630185)

NCT ID: NCT03630185

Last Updated: 2020-02-17

Results Overview

Five-point satisfaction scale consists of patients rating their overall postoperative pain management experience using a 5-point rating system. The scale ranges from 1 to 5, with 1 being "extremely dissatisfied", 2 "somewhat dissatisfied", 3 "Neutral/Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied", 4 "somewhat satisfied" and 5 "extremely satisfied" with their postoperative pain care.

Off-the-rack Stockings (Sigvaris)
Currently available off-the-rack compression hosiery are manufactured in eight fixed sizes (S-XLFC) that cannot be varied in size over their length to accommodate unusual anatomic patterns (eg., small ankle with large calf or vice versa) and may not achieve a comfortable fit that meets the compression goal over a uniform distribution of the limb.

Custom-manufactured Compression Hosiery (Isobar)
The custom-fitted garment is manufactured specifically for each patient based on measurements taken with a 3-dimensional volumetric laser scan of the extremity, and can be sized individually to each limb.

The Brief Pain Inventory is a medical questionnaire used to measure pain, developed by the Pain Research Group of the World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Symptom Evaluation in Cancer Care. The score is an average of seven questions about pain interference in life. The score scale is from 0 to 10. 0 being pain does not interfere and 10 being that it completely interferes. 10 would be a worst outcome.

The short-form 12 item (SF-12) HRQoL health status instrument measures Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). It produces overall HRQoL estimates as well as sub-scale scores (Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS)) that assess both mental/emotional and physical functioning related to health. The scoring scale is from 0 to 100, the higher the score the better the health related quality of life.
