About this study
Official title: Effectiveness of Stair Stepping Exercise Training on Cardiopulmonary Fitness and Sleep Situation in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
This 3-year prospective, randomized, control, longitudinal study is aimed to (1) examine the effect of stair stepping exercise training on cardiopulmonary fitness and sleep situation in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS), and (2) follow the longitudinal change after stair stepping exercise training in patients with OSAS. Patients meet the following criteria will be invited to participate in this study: being diagnosed with AHI (Apnea-hypopnea index)>15/hr and ODI (oxygen desaturation index)>10/hr by Polysomnography, aged 19 or older. Based on the power analysis, 70 patients with OSAS treated in the outpatient department of Chang Gung Medical Center will be recruited over a period of 26 months. Each patient will participate in this study for seventeen weeks. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive stair stepping exercise in addition to nursing education and standard care, or nursing education and standard care alone. Stair stepping exercise will be performed at home daily for eight weeks. Outcomes will be determined by changes in the scores of cardiopulmonary fitness index, VO2max, six-minute walking distance, daytime sleepiness measured by Epworth Sleepiness Scale, sleep time measured by Actigraphy, and AHI measured by Polysomnography; those taken four times: before treatment (baseline), five weeks, nine weeks, and seventeen weeks of the study. Data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics and Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE).
Read the detailed description
This study seeks to verify improvements of the stair stepping exercise training on cardiopulmonary fitness condition and sleep condition in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The quasi-experimental, two group repeated-measures study design was used. Patients meet the following criteria were invited to participate in this study: being diagnosed with AHI (Apnea-hypopnea index)>15/hr and ODI (oxygen desaturation index)>10/hr by Polysomnography, aged 19 or older. Eighteen patients with OSAS treated in the outpatient department of Chest Medicine were recruited, included study group and control group .The study group patients performed stair stepping exercise training daily for eight weeks at home. Outcome measures included cardiorespiratory fitness condition assessed by the 3-Minute YMCA Step Test, in which including physical fitness index and gross oxygen consumption (VO2), and sleep condition assessed by Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Polysomnography. Data were recorded just prior to the stair stepping exercise at Day 1 as baseline, at the end of the fourth week, and at the end of the eighth week. Results of this study showed, physical fitness index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale , AHI, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and symptom scale-snoring were significantly improved. Differences in the effect of stair stepping exercise for other outcome variables were either minimal or not statistically significant. Eight weeks of stair stepping exercise training could be useful in increasing cardiorespiratory fitness condition and improving sleep condition on patients with OSAS.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing stair stepping exercise in people with Sleep Apnea Syndrome, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital.
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 2 inclusion and 1 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 6 Aug 2009. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 6 Aug 2009.
