NCT ID: NCT04546867 Completed - Ultrasound Clinical Trials

Establishing a Sonographic Based Algorithm to Verify Pancreatic Stent Position Placed to Prevent Post-ERCP Pancreatitis Before Endoscopic Removal

Start date: September 7, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The present study is a prospective, single-center study. A total of 88 patients, who had placed a pancreatic stent for preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis, will be included in the study. Aim of the study is to establish a new algorithm based on a sonographic approach to remove the placed pancreatic stents. Another aim is to compare high-end sonographic devices with devices of medium price scale one's used on the ward. On the day of removal of the pancreatic stent, all patients receive a sonography by an experienced investigator on the ward and by another, uninformed investigator with a high-end device. If a pancreatic stent is visualized in the pancreatic duct, the patient will have an esophagogastroduodenoscopy to remove the pancreatic stent. If sonography cannot find a pancreatic stent in the pancreatic duct an x-ray will be performed as suggested by the European and international guidelines. If the pancreatic stent spontaneously dislocated into the small bowel tract according to x-ray, no further investigation will be performed. If a stent is visulized in situ by x-ray, it will be removed by endoscopyl. Statistical analysis will be done in cooperation with the statistical biomedical institute oft he university hospital in Frankfurt.

NCT ID: NCT03381885 Completed - Back Pain Clinical Trials

Natural Experiment: "Gentle Nudge" Intervention, Eliminating Phone Call Requirement

LBP-ED
Start date: February 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Back pain costs the U.S. over $100 billion annually, and much of this spending is wasteful due to the overuse of advanced diagnostic imaging. Despite prominent clinical guidelines and the nationally recognized Choosing Wisely campaign discouraging use of costly and low value imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) studies remain frequently overused. Real-time electronic clinical decision support (CDS) at the point of care has been increasingly emphasized as an important strategy to improve the value of back pain management; however, studies suggest that CDS at best only modestly influences practice patterns. The aim is to implement a behavioral economic-based intervention in the ED to promote the use of CDS system.
