Trial summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a disease characterized by small airways inflammation and obstruction. The small airways disease produces hyperinflation (air trapping), which increases with exercise. Continuous positive airways pressure may reduce small airways obstruction and therefore air trapping.

About this study

Official title: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Effect on Air Trapping, Endurance Time in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a disease characterized by small airways inflammation and obstruction. The small airways disease produces hyperinflation (air trapping), which increases with exercise. Continuous positive airways pressure may reduce small airways obstruction and therefore air trapping. Pulmonary function tests including lung volumes at rest and and after exercise will be measured. In addition, exercise endurance time before treatment and after treatment will be measured.

Read the detailed description

Continuous positive airways pressure which prevent small air ways collapse and may also clear secretions. At first stage the optimal pressure for reducing air trapping will be determined. In addition, all patients will undergo a maximal exercise test. A baseline complete pulmonary function test is performed followed by continuous positive air way pressure at the pre-determined pressure. This will be followed by exercise at 60% of maximal obtained previously.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing positive ventilation in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Assaf-Harofeh Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 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 11 Jan 2012. 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 Israel. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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?

improved small airways obstruction (time frame: 2-3 hrs). 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 11 Jan 2012.
