Trial Outcomes & Findings for Feasibility of EnChroma Use in the Emergency Department Setting (NCT NCT04021914)

NCT ID: NCT04021914

Last Updated: 2023-09-18

Results Overview

Subjective influence of EnChroma glasses will be assessed by asking to describe a difference that the glasses made in color vision. The overall quality of color perception will be assessed with a scale from 1 to 10. Higher score correlates highest quality (better outcome).

Measure
EnChroma Glasses
EnChroma products improve brightness and color purity of primary colors for CVD people. Each participant with CVD will be provided EnChroma products to use indoors over the course of two weeks in the emergency department, educational settings, and in their personal life. EnChroma glasses: Each participant will be provided EnChroma products to use indoors over the course of two weeks in the emergency department, educational settings, and in their personal life. They will be encouraged to wear the glasses for at least 10 hours over 1-2 weeks prior to wearing them in a clinical setting to adjust to their use, and for 10 minutes before beginning patient care as per manufacturer instructions. They will be encouraged to take specific note of clinical scenarios that require the use of color vision (e.g., - rashes, tympanic membrane erythema, stool guaiac testing, etc.).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 weeks post-intervention

Subjective influence of EnChroma glasses will be assessed by asking to describe a difference that the glasses made in color vision perception in normal daylight based on patients' description. The overall quality of color perception will be assessed with a scale from 1 to 10. Higher score correlates highest quality (better outcome).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 weeks post-intervention

Subjective influence of EnChroma glasses will be assessed by asking to describe a difference that the glasses made in color vision perception in dim light based on patients' description. The overall quality of color perception will be assessed with a scale from 1 to 10. Higher score correlates highest quality (better outcome).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 weeks post-intervention

Comfort of EnChroma glasses will be assessed by a multiple choice question, where a respondent can choose from listed negative or positive responses (e.g., did or didn't like, comfortable or uncomfortable, ). Number of participants reporting more positive than negative comments about the use of the EnChroma glasses will be reported.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 weeks post-intervention

Number of participants that reported an impact of the glasses on patient care, especially in situations that require the use of color vision (e.g., - rashes, tympanic membrane erythema, stool guaiac testing, etc.), will be assessed by asking a question. Participants that report impact is associated with better outcome.
