In this episode, we speak with Professor Mark Wilson about the forthcoming SIS trial. This randomised study aims to compare the safety and patient outcomes of the current spinal immobilisation practice versus a more flexible "movement minimisation" approach for suspected spinal injury patients. The findings could inform future clinical guidelines.
The main concepts of the trial include assessing if "movement minimisation" is no worse than the current standard "triple spinal immobilisation" for patients suspected of spinal injury in pre-hospital and emergency settings. Current practice of triple spinal immobilisation (rigid board, straps, neck collar) may have potential harms like breathing difficulties, skin/brain injury. Movement minimisation allows more flexibility and comfort, but its safety/efficacy compared to triple immobilisation is unknown. Around 8,316 patients will be randomly assigned to either movement minimisation or triple immobilisation groups. Their neurological function, complications, and long-term well-being will be assessed. The study involved spinal injury and trauma patient groups (ASPIRE, Imperial Trauma PPI) in design, emphasising the need for research before guideline changes.
Results will be shared internationally with patients, the public, paramedics, doctors, and nurses through conferences, social media, reports, and publications to inform future NHS guidelines. More information on the trial can be found here: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/med/research/ctu/trials/sis/
