What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Activity monitor/smartphone health coachingBehavioural

    Initial health coaching at enrollment will involve the collaborative creation of an action plan with personally relevant, specific actions for increasing physical activity. The short term goals will be rated for self-efficacy and modified to maximize likelihood of success. Health coaches will discuss important mediators of physical activity (e.g., self-efficacy, enjoyment, social support, problem-solving). Weekly coaching calls will involve discussion of progress toward goals and problem-solving of barriers utilizing a motivational interviewing approach. Motivational messages will also be developed and sent daily to participants via the smartphone. These messages will indicate the percentage of steps related to their daily goal.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Validity of activity monitor/smartphone to accurately measure and record physical activity of COPD patients

    Conduct tests to evaluate the activity monitor/smartphone system's ability to capture physical activity for COPD patients in comparison with the gold standard device in the field. The average number of steps and minutes per day spent in physical activities recorded by the experimental device will be compared to the gold standard device.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Determine the feasibility of using the smartphone/activity monitoring technology for motivational interviewing based counseling .

    Investigators will test the usability of the smartphone diary for chronic disease self-management health coaching. Several measures of the usability of the diary will be collected.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Determine the effectiveness of smartphone/activity monitor plus the motivational interviewing based coaching to increase physical activity, improve quality of life or palliate symptoms .

    Several measures will be collected,Physical Activity Level (total energy expenditure/resting metabolic rate), steps, quality of life, self efficacy and also a qualitative feedback .

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Activity monitor/smartphone health coaching in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Physical Activity, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 13 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Validity of activity monitor/smartphone to accurately measure and record physical activity of COPD patients (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 13 May 2015.
