NCT ID: NCT04783948 Completed - Compliance Clinical Trials

Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Pectus Carinatum Evaluation Questionnaire for Patients With Pectus Carinatum

Start date: March 3, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Based on the hypothesis that the chest wall was still pliable in adolescence and could be reshaped in a normal position with the external suppressor applied on the chest, a pressure orthosis was started to be used in the pectus carinatum. It is the focus of attention as it is an alternative method to surgery for patients. However, the patient's compliance with the orthosis is difficult. Therefore, in our study, we aimed to investigate the Turkish Validity and Reliability of the Pectus Carinatum Evaluation Questionnaire, which is a questionnaire investigating the compliance with orthosis treatment in patients diagnosed with Pectus Carinatum by the doctor.

NCT ID: NCT04782362 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Pectus Carinatum Body Image Quality of Life Questionnaire for Patients With Pectus Carinatum

Start date: March 3, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

In children with severe pectus carinatum, a significant loss of self-esteem, impairment in social behavior due to a decrease in quality of life associated with physical appearance and mental health has been reported. However, a questionnaire measuring these problems specific to this disease is not available in Turkish. Therefore, in our study, we aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of the Pectus Carinatum Body Image Quality of Life Questionnaire (PeCBI-QOL) in patients with Pectus Carinatum.

NCT ID: NCT04362878 Completed - Pectus Excavatum Clinical Trials

Psychological Assessment of Patients With Chest Wall Deformities

Start date: October 8, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The study aims to investigate the most frequent psychological outcomes associated to chest wall deformities and patients' quality of life.

NCT ID: NCT03559244 Completed - Pectus Carinatum Clinical Trials

Dynamic Compression Brace for Pectus Carinatum

Start date: July 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Pectus carinatum (PC) is a deformity of the anterior chest wall which is a common pediatric condition, characterized by an idiopathic overgrowth of the costal cartilages resulting in protrusion of the sternum. Chest pain or discomfort, especially when lying in prone position, increased respiratory effort during exercise, scoliosis, impaired shoulders and kyphotic position are some of the physical signs and symptoms. Unlike pectus excavatum, PC is rarely associated with significant cardiopulmonary involvement except in severe cases. Pectus carinatum is not just a simple aesthetical problem. The effect of patient's self-esteem, body image and confidence can be variable and lead to significant deterioration in mental health. It can be responsible of physical signs and symptoms and also has significant psychological impact. Deformity and its psychological impact tend to worsen during pubertal rapid phases of growth and even during adult life. The management of pectus deformities used to include surgical techniques, however, recently compression brace which is a dynamic orthosis which is custom-fitted, rigid aluminum brace that is adjustable to any thoracic shape is widely applied instead of surgery. Pressure applied to the patient, in the most protruding area of the chest, needed to accomplish a proper shape of the thorax, the pressure of correction can be measured via a pressure measuring device in pounds per square inches (PSI). Treatment choices of surgery or bracing is determined according to pressure of correction and type of deformity. Surgical correction is indicated if the presence of chondro-manubrial type PC and pressure of correction > 10 PSI. Chest pain or discomfort, especially when lying in prone position, increased respiratory effort during exercise, scoliosis, impaired shoulders and kyphotic position are some of the physical signs and symptoms. Despite the fact that patients with PC have impaired posture, exercise intolerance and increased scoliosis occurrence, there is no consensus on the exercise program for patients with PC. Also, there is not enough scientific evidence about the wear time of orthosis. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of exercises and compression brace in children with PC.

NCT ID: NCT02958683 Completed - Surgery Clinical Trials

Chest Wall Motion Analysis in Disease

CWM
Start date: July 2011
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Breathing movements, called chest wall motion, are very complex. The investigators are studying how movement of the abdomen, ribs and diaphragm contribute to breathing and how this differs with different diseases in the chest. Breathing movements may help with diagnosis, assessment of severity or assessing the impact of treatments for chest conditions. The investigators are following people who have a chest disease, measuring their chest wall motion and comparing it to their diagnosis and and how their treatment works. Chest wall motion can be measured in different ways at rest and whilst exercising. Small stickers on the chest can be used to reflect infra red light or visible squares of light can be shone onto the chest without using stickers.

NCT ID: NCT02163265 Completed - Pectus Excavatum Clinical Trials

Impact of Surgical Treatments of Thoracic Deformation on Cardiopulmonary Functions

Start date: July 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Pectus excavatum or carinatum are the most common congenital deformations of the ventral thoracic wall. Several different surgical methods with different techniques to correct these deformations have been described. Some clinicians recommend a correction of the deformation to improve the cardiopulmonary efficiency. Other think that the correction has a more an aesthetic than a physiological benefit. The aim of our prospective study is to evaluate whether patients with PE or PC are suffering preoperatively from a cardiopulmonary limitation at rest and under physical stress and if there is a change of cardiopulmonary function after the surgical correction.

NCT ID: NCT01692392 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Health-related Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Pectus Carinatum

HRQoL
Start date: September 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of the study is to assess changes in health-related quality of life in patients undergoing surgical correction of pectus carinatum. In addition, the study assessed long-term effects of surgical intervention in relation to the development of persistent postoperative pain and / or sensory disturbances in the surgical field.
