Trial summary

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Osteoporosis, however, may be equally as disabling as COPD, and may impair respiratory function even further if the patient experiences vertebral compressions. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Prevalence, Correlations and Effectiveness of Intervention of Osteoporosis in COPD Patients

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Osteoporosis, however, may be equally as disabling as COPD, and may impair respiratory function even further if the patient experiences vertebral compressions.

In this study, we will survey the prevalence, correlations and effectiveness of intervention of osteoporosis in COPD patients.

Read the detailed description

COPD has a multiple etiology and organ impaired inflammatory disease. In clinical characteristic include airway inflammatory response, cili mobility impairment and lung consolidation change; the others change includes: other functional impairments such as malnutrition, body mass loss, osteogenesis and osteoporosis. The prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia patients is generally higher than in healthy subjects and some other chronic disease. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are at increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Risk factors such as smoking, advanced age, physical inactivity, malnutrition, and low weight may be responsible, but a number of pathophysiological explanations including the presence of a chronic inflammatory state with increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines and protein catalytic enzymes may also be involved. The use of oral glucocorticoids is also a significant risk factor. Osteoporosis, however, may be equally as disabling as COPD, and may impair respiratory function even further if the patient experiences vertebral compressions and loss of height The number of patients with osteoporosis is rising and osteoprosis becomes an important medical and public health issue as the population gets older including Taiwan. Osteoporosis is a silent disease and it is thus important to screen for osteoporosis institute treatment an dreduce fracture incidence. In this study, we will survey the prevalence, correlations and effectiveness of intervention of osteoporosis in COPD patients. This study purpose hope can understand patient's osteoporosis status, pulmonary function impairment and exercise intolerance. Then, we may be can prevent the unnecessary of fracture and maintance of bone mineral contains by the pulmonary rehabilitation program training in osteoporosis COPD patients.

What participants receive

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

  • mobile-based PR program.Behavioural

    Patients will be trained and monitored by mobile-based pulmonary rehbailitation program. By mobile, patients could undergo exercise training at home and the information of training parameters will be send to investigator. Investigator could monitor these patients by mobile. Patients will return to visit physian and receive six-minutes walking test to measure outcomes 3 months and 1 year later after mobile-based pulmonary rehabilitation program.

What is being measured

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

  1. exercise tolerance.

    Exercise tolerance will be measured by six-minutes walking test after trainsing with 3 months mobile-based pulmonary rehabilitation program. Wlaking distences will be the primary outcome measurement.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Inflammatory cytokine of patients.

    Inflammatory cytokine of enrolled patients including IL-6、IL-8、TNF-α \& CRP before and 3 months, 1 year after moble-based pulomonary rehabilitation program will be measured.

    Measured: 3 months and 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing mobile-based PR program. in people with COPD, and Osteoporosis, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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.
