Conditions
Stoma Site Leakage
Interventions
Device: OstoRing®
Registration Number
NCT04802538
Lead Sponsor
NorthShore University HealthSystem
Brief Summary

In this study, a novel ostomy ring device will be assessed for safety and efficacy in increasing the lifespan of ostomy pouching equipment.

Detailed Description

In this crossover design trial, patients will be asked to first wear their normal ostomy pouching equipment for 28 days followed by 28 days with the OstoRing®. Patients may choose to continue using the OstoRing for an additional 19 days. Study visits will occur between each section of the trial and will involve a skin assessment and quality of life questionnaires. Additionally, over the course of the trial, participants will be asked to fill out a survey and take a picture of their stoma with ostomy pouching change.

GroupInterventionDescription
Study GroupOstoRing®All patients will begin the study by using their normal ostomy pouching equipment for 28 days. This will be followed by a transition to using the OstoRing® for 28-47 days.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pouching Equipment Wear Time/Lifespan75 days

Mean pouching system wear time will be calculated with and without the OstoRing®.

Coloplast Tool Skin Assessment Score75 days

The skin surrounding the peristomal area will be assessed at all study visits utilizing the coloplast skin score tool. Skin score may range from 0 to 15 with a smaller score indicating better skin condition in the peristomal area.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
City of Hope Quality of Life Ostomy Questionnaire Score75 days

Quality of life will be assessed at all study visits utilizing the City of Hope Quality of Life Ostomy Questionnaire. This instrument contains 43 questions with answers on a Likert scale from 1 to 10. The final score is the sum of all responses divided by the total number questions which gives a final score from 1 to 10. Greater score on this survey is indicative of a better quality of life.
