About this study
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome and safety of flutter mucus clearance devices in elders of gerocomium.
Read the detailed description
Respiratory diseases are still increasing in the elderly population. The fluttering mucus clearance technique is expected to be a physical assisting therapy enhancing airway secretion clearance but needs more clinical randomized, controlled trial evidence.

indicators of pulmonary function, for example, FEV1(unit of measurement:Liter)
All subjects sit upright in a chair and instructed to perform the pulmonary function test. Repeat the test until three reproducible acceptable results are obtained. Spirometry was performed at the first day of baseline and the 28th day of our study.
Measured: up to 28 days
FVC, Forced Vital Capacity
indicators of pulmonary function, for example, FVC(unit of measurement:Liter)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing flutter mucus clearance device in people with Pulmonary Disease, run by Tongji University.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Jun 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of Cases With Fever (Body Temperature Reach 38 Degree Celsius or Higher) (time frame: up to 28 days). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00881335, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Jun 2012.
