What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the abdominal pain experienced by patients following the placement of a percutaneous radiologic gastrostomy (PRG) over a 12-month period. It will evaluate the severity and prevalence of pain as well as identify predictive factors that may influence pain outcomes. The study will involve monitoring patients from baseline until seven days post-procedure to gather comprehensive data on their pain experiences. The findings could help improve patient management and care following PRG placement.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who require a radiologic gastrostomy and can communicate in French.

Not a fit: Patients with serious psychiatric conditions or those under guardianship may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of pain management strategies for patients undergoing PRG placement.

How similar studies have performed: While there is limited data on pain assessment specifically following PRG placement, similar studies on gastrostomy complications have shown varying degrees of success in understanding patient outcomes.
