Study of Negative Emotion, Fear-Avoidance Belief and Quality of Life in Patients With Ankle Sprain

November 23, 2021 updated by: Peking University Third Hospital

An Observational Study of the Relationship Between Negative Emotion, Fear-Avoidance Belief and Quality of Life in Patients With Chronic Ankle Sprain

This study intends to investigate the negative emotions, fear-avoidance beliefs, and quality of life in patients with chronic ankle sprains to explore the relationship between negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, fear-avoidance beliefs, and their impact on quality of life.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

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.

Detailed Description

Research design: This study is an observational study. It is planned to recruit a total of 120 patients with ankle sprain injury who meet the selection criteria from the Rehabilitation Department of Peking University Third Hospital. They will be divided into an anxiety and depression group and a control group based on anxiety and depression scale. Basic information, anxiety and depression scales, fear-avoidance beliefs score and quality of life score of two groups will be compared and analyzed.

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

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

Probability Sample

Study Population

Ankle sprains are the most common injury in everyday life, military training and sports. Forty percent of people with ankle sprains develop chronic ankle instability, including mechanical ankle instability and functional ankle instability. Mechanical ankle instability is usually caused by structural changes in the ligamentous tissue around the ankle, kinematic damage, synovial changes or degenerative joint disease. Functional ankle instability refers to the subjective perception of instability during daily life or sports. Most patients do not require surgery, and clinical examination reveals only minor swelling and localized pressure pain, but rarely severe structural damage to the joint with limited range of motion and joint instability. However, many patients with chronic functional instability of the ankle joint due to ankle sprain are unable to resume normal work and life due to emotional anxiety and repeatedly seek medical attention.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Ankle sports injury time> 6 months;
  • age 18-50 years;
  • no pain in daily activities, or a numerical rating scale (NRS) 6 points or less;
  • no mechanical instability of the ankle joint and obvious restriction in joint movement ;
  • agree to participate in this study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • acute inflammation of lower limb joints;
  • new or unhealed lower limb fractures;
  • history of lower limb surgery within 3 months;
  • lower limb pain caused by other diseases (such as lumbar disease, vascular disease, etc.);
  • speech and cognitive impairment
  • other diseases that cannot participate in this study.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
A/D group
Chronic ankle sprain patient with anxity or depression
Other: Hospital Anxious and Depression(HADS)
The assessment content in the scale is divided into two parts: anxiety and depression. Anxiety is an unexplained state of restlessness, manifested as tension, fear, and panic all day long. Depression is manifested as depression, slow thinking, decreased volition and physical symptoms. The two parts are scored separately. A total score of 0-7 means normal, a total score of 8-10 means mild depression/anxiety, a total score of 11-14 means moderate depression/anxiety, and a total score of 15-21 means severe depression/ anxiety.
Other: Fear-Avoidance Belief Questionnaire (FABQ)
FABQ is a self-assessment questionnaire with 16 options. Each option has 7 levels of 0-6 points, representing totally disagree, uncertain, and totally agree; there are 2 subscales, and one subscale measures the fear-avoidance in physical activity, another subscale measures fear-avoidance of work. The final score of FABQ is the superposition of the value of each item. A high score indicates a high level of fear-avoidance beliefs.
Other: The MOS 36-Item Short From Health Survey (SF-36)
The SF-36 is a multi-purpose survey designed to capture adult patients' perceptions of their own health and well-being. The SF-36 has 36 items grouped in 8 dimensions: physical functoning, physicial and emotional limitations, social functioning, bodily pain, general and mental health.
Control group
Chronic ankle sprain patient with no emotional issues
Other: Hospital Anxious and Depression(HADS)
The assessment content in the scale is divided into two parts: anxiety and depression. Anxiety is an unexplained state of restlessness, manifested as tension, fear, and panic all day long. Depression is manifested as depression, slow thinking, decreased volition and physical symptoms. The two parts are scored separately. A total score of 0-7 means normal, a total score of 8-10 means mild depression/anxiety, a total score of 11-14 means moderate depression/anxiety, and a total score of 15-21 means severe depression/ anxiety.
