Oral health promotion strategy for Oral Hygiene (OHPROM Trial)

"The details on clinicaltrials.gov indicate that this trial, which was first posted in June 2018 and last updated in June 2022, is not presently looking for individuals to enroll. Nevertheless, 40 alternative studies are actively recruiting patients now."

"This specific trial is restricted to those aged between 18 and 75. However, there are 28 trials that accept minors and 15 studies open to seniors."

"This 12-month study seeks to evaluate the impacts of a specific intervention on oral health outcomes in individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The primary measure for success is the changes observed in Modified Gingival Index scores between baseline, 4 months, and 12 months. Secondary objectives are gauging caregiver self-efficacy using an adapted version of the General Self-Efficacy Scale as well as quantifying environmental influences and Oral hygiene practices through specific assessments such as Simplified Oral Hygiene Index."

"This research endeavour is asking for 500 volunteers aged 18 to 75 who possess oral health, and meet other specific requirements. Those hoping to participate must be direct care staff members at a group/family home; willing and able to follow the protocol of this trial until its conclusion; residents in one of six partner organisations associated with these homes; and diagnosed with mild, moderate, severe or profound intellectual or developmental disability."
