About this study

Official title: Exercise Coupled to Self Drainage in Pediatric Cystic Fibrosis Patients: an Open Label Cross Over Randomised Clinical Trial

In the current study, we designed a cross-over, open label, randomized controlled clinical trial that aim to investigate the superiority of physical exercise coupled with self drainage to a chest physiotherapy in stable cystic fibrosis children. We hypothesized that CF children undergoing physical exercise coupled to self drainage will increase the amount of expectorate secretions compared to conventional CP course, while being more satisfied and without worsening their pulmonary function status.

What participants receive

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

  • Chest physiotherapyProcedure or surgery

    The whole exercise session consisted of three short period of exercise of 5 minutes each entirely done under the physiotherapists' supervision (FA).

What is being measured

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

  1. weight of sputum that was expectorated

    The Physiotherapist collected all sputum excreted from the beginning of the session and during the first hour.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. patient's satisfaction

    evaluation of FEV1 before and after the session, ii) sessions' quality (i.e. patients' cooperation), iii) patient's satisfaction. Patient's cooperation was quoted by the physiotherapist from 1 (patient refused to participate) to 5 (excellent participation). Patients' satisfaction was scored using a visual analogic scale (VAS) graduated from 0 (not satisfied at all) to 100 (totally satisfied)

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Chest physiotherapy in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon.

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 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

weight of sputum that was expectorated (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT01509235, 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?
