ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Costal Fracture Assessment for Relief and Enhancement of Quality of Life," is looking into how rib fractures affect patients and their quality of life. The goal is to find ways to relieve pain and improve daily functioning for those who have experienced rib injuries. The study will track patients who receive standard care for their rib fractures to see how long they need to stay in the hospital, how well they manage pain, and if they develop any respiratory infections. The findings will help improve treatment decisions and overall care for patients, especially within the National Health Service.

To be eligible for this trial, participants need to have rib fractures, and it is open to all adults aged 65 to 74. However, individuals with cognitive impairment, chronic pain from other bone issues, or active cancer cannot participate. If you join the study, you can expect to share your experiences and contribute to understanding how to better manage rib fractures, which may lead to improved care for others in the future.
