About this study

Official title: Construction of a Database to Identify Early Indicators of Respiratory Muscle Dysfunction in Neuromuscular Patients From the Optoelectronic Plethysmography Assessment of the Thoracoabdominal Motion

The aim of this study is to better discriminate respiratory muscle dysfunction by comparing the measurements of thoracoabdominal motion obtained by an optoelectronic recording and the conventional tests of respiratory muscle strength. The final objective is to better select in the future the patients who need more specific assessment of diaphragmatic function like "maximal transdiaphragmatic pressure" measurement and "phrenic nerve stimulation".

Read the detailed description

All patients which had suspected respiratory muscle dysfunction will have usual exploration of the respiratory muscles according to the clinician prescription. These explorations can include :

  • Lung volumes in seating and supine position
  • Maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures
  • Maximal sniff pressures

And when diaphragmatic dysfunction is suspected :

  • Maximal transdiaphragmatic pressure
  • Phrenic nerve conduction

These patients will also beneficiate to the determination of volume variations of the upper rib cage, the lower rib cage and the abdominal compartments by using Opto-electronic plethysmography.

What is being measured

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

  1. compartmental distribution of the inspired/expired volumes

    Measurements of the thoraco-abdominal motion and of the global lung volume changes.

    Measurements will be done during spontaneous breathing and during vital capacity maneuvers. Therefore the tidal volume, the inspiratory capacity and the expiratory reserve volume will be measured in liters and for each compartiment (upper thorax, lower thorax, abdomen) contribution of these volumes will be expressed in percentage.

    Measured: 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. left side and right side contribution to the inspired/expired volumes

    Measurements will be done during spontaneous breathing and during vital capacity maneuvers. Therefore the tidal volume, the inspiratory capacity and the expiratory reserve volume will be measured in liters and each side contribution of these volumes will be expressed in percentage.

    Measured: 1 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Failure and Neuromuscular Disorder, run by Centre d'Investigation Clinique et Technologique 805 at 1 site in France.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 May 2017. 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 France. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

compartmental distribution of the inspired/expired volumes (time frame: 1 hour). 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 1 May 2017.
