Controlling Malodour In Fungating Wounds Using A Cinnamon-Based Dressing: Observational Study

Wound Clinical Trial

Official title:
Controlling Malodour In Fungating Wounds Using A Cinnamon-Based Dressing: Observational Study

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to observe the contribution of the cinnamon dressing to the reduction of the discomfort associated with the odour felt by the patient and carers. This prospective study aims to collect data on patients living with a malodorous fungating wound. Quality of life tools will be used to assess the impact of the cinnamon dressing on managing malodorous fungating wounds.

Clinical Trial Description

There are several anti-odour treatments on the market for managing malodorous wounds but no conclusive data on their efficacy is available. Current treatments like charcoal dressing or topical antimicrobials do not completely manage bad odours in particular for tumoral wounds. In the case of malodorous wounds, the ideal management plan would therefore be to reduce (or neutralise) bad odours, and modify any residual odour so that it becomes more pleasant than unpleasant. Cinesteam® was specially developed to reduce and manage malodorous wounds. Cinesteam® is a secondary dressing that eliminates unpleasant odours and masks any residual odours with the spice's natural fragrance. This dressing also absorbs excess exudates released by the wound. The aim of this post-market observational study is to observe the performance of Cinesteam® in controlling malodour in fungating wounds. Patients with malodourous, fungating wounds, above 18 years with a discomfort score of >40/100, with cognitive ability to participate and consent, will be eligible to participate in the study. The study will be conducted on eligible patients in the North East of England, treated at the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, either as inpatients or in its surrounding community. The duration of patient participation in the study is 14 days. The research nurse will visit patients on Day0 and perform wound assessment, apply Cinesteam dressing over the standard care primary dressing and answer questionnaires on odour, and discomfort, and also help patients with questionnaires on odour, discomfort, appetite and Quality of life. The research nurse will change Cinesteam dressing on Day 1, Day 7 +/- 48 hours, and Day 14 +/- 48 hours and perform follow-up assessments on patients' wound condition. Patients or their caregivers who usually change the patient's dressing will change the primary dressing and Cinesteam dressing in-between the research nurse's assessment visits. They will keep a record of these dressing changes in the diary provided. ;
