Effectiveness of Inelastic LSO Versus Standard Medical Treatment for Back Pain Associated With Kyphosis (ARISE)

July 1, 2014 updated by: Aspen Medical Products

A Randomized Crossover Pilot Study To Determine Clinical Effectiveness and Patient Wellness of Inelastic Lumbosacral Orthoses Versus Standard Medical Treatment in Patients With Back Pain AssociatEd With Kyphosis (The ARISE Study)

The objective of this study is to evaluate clinical effectiveness and the effect on quality of life of an inelastic thoracolumbarasacral orthosis in male and female hyperkyphotic patients with moderate to severe back pain disability and to demonstrate the safety of the intervention through detailed reporting and analysis of adverse events.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
16

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

15 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with moderate to complete disability (crippled) as defined by a score of 21% to 80% on the baseline evaluation of the Oswestry Back Pain Disability Questionnaire;
  • Patients diagnosed with kyphosis and have a Cobb angle of at least 55 degrees;
  • Willing and able to comply with the study procedures and provide written informed consent to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients under the age of 19;
  • Pregnant patients or patients who are considering future pregnancies;
  • Patients who were participating in any other investigational device or drug study or whose participation in a previous investigational study within 30 days of study entry may, in the opinion of the clinical investigator, impact analysis of this orthotic;
  • Patients who, in the clinical judgment of the investigator, are not suitable for this study; Patients who, in the investigators opinion, are mentally or legally incapacitated preventing informed consent or unable to read or understand written material;
  • Patients who are unable or unwilling to return to the study center for follow-up visits.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Mean difference in the Oswestry Disability Index Scores of the intervention versus control groups
Time Frame: 4 weeks
4 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Measured amount of opioid medication consumed in the intervention group versus control group
Time Frame: Baseline and weeks 2,3,4,8,12,16,20 and 24
Baseline and weeks 2,3,4,8,12,16,20 and 24

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
ODI scores between the intervention group versus control group
Time Frame: Weeks 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24
