About this study

Official title: Efficacy on Combined Use of Respiratory Devices RESPILIFT® and RESPIVOL® in Adult Cardio-thoracic Surgery Patients. Randomized-controlled Study

In a rehabilitation setting, respiratory muscle training with re-expansion techniques in patients following cardio-thoracic surgery represents a consolidated intervention. New devices called RESPILIFT® and RESPIVOl® improve deep inspiration and pulmonary volume with an effect on respiratory muscle performance and perceived dispnoea. The aim of the investigators study is to test the clinical efficacy of RESPILIFT® and RESPIVOl® in patients with a recent history of cardio-thoracic surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Respiratory muscle performance

    Change of MEP (Maximum Expiratory Pressure)measure

    Measured: Change from Baseline in MEP at 6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Respiratory muscle performance

    Change of MIP (Maximum Inspiratory Pressure)measure

    Measured: Enrollment (T0), Day 8 (T8), at the end (T14) and after 6 months (T6m)

  2. Pulmonary volumes

    Change of Static and dynamic volumes (FEV1,FVC,VC,IC,RV)

    Measured: Enrollment (T0), Day 8 (T8), at the end (T14) and after 6 months (T6m)

  3. Pulmonary gas exchange

    Change of arterial oxygen(PaO2) and use of oxygen (FiO2) in terms of PaO2/FiO2

    Measured: Enrollment (T0), at the end (T14) and after 6 months (T6m)

  4. Perceived dispnoea, well being and thoracic pain

    Change of perceived dispnoea, well being and thoracic pain measured through validated Visual Analogic Scale (VAS)

    Measured: At enrollment (T0), every day during the treatment (T2,T4, T6, T8, T10, T12), at the end (T14) and after 6 months (T6m)

  5. Perceived quality of life

    Change of perceived quality of life through Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), italian version

    Measured: Enrollment (T0), at the end (T14) and after 6 months (T6m)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Combined use of RESPIVOL® and RESPILIFT® in people with Dyspnea and Well Being, run by Villa Pineta Hospital at 2 sites in Italy.

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 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 26 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Italy. 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?

Respiratory muscle performance (time frame: Change from Baseline in MEP at 6 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 NCT01510275, 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 26 Oct 2012.
