About this study

The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of using targeted daily cell phone interaction to facilitate behavior change for physical activity in previously-sedentary individuals who have recently undergone a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Read the detailed description

Regular physical activity is important in the maintenance of cardiovascular health, and is especially critical for previously sedentary individuals who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures. Changing behavior to adopt and maintain recommended physical activity levels in this population is difficult. Interventions to accomplish behavior change will not work unless they can be adopted into a person's busy lifestyle. This proposed study fills a gap by testing the feasibility of an innovative, targeted intervention (Physical Activity Promotion Telehealth Intervention), delivered by a practical and feasible platform (cell phone). The asynchronous targeted daily interaction will consist of 5-6 text, picture, and/or video messages delivered to the subject's cell phone each day. Upon successful completion of this study, it is believed that these feasibility findings will provide a foundation for the testing of a larger clinical trial to promote physical activity in this population.

What participants receive

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

  • Physical Activity Promotion InterventionBehavioural

    Subjects in the experimental group (Physical Activity Promotion Telehealth Intervention) will receive messages on the study cell phone - approximately 2 to 3 messages every day. Depending on the subject's responses to the questionnaires at baseline (stages and processes of change) they will be given tips to help them engage in physical activity (such as messages to increase their self-efficacy or confidence, walking with a friend or spouse, breaking up physical activity bouts into 10 minutes bouts, etc.) and also to help them keep the physical activity appropriate. Walking will be primarily the suggested mode of activity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility Aspects of the Physical Activity Telehealth Intervention

    Evaluate the feasibility of each component of this pilot study, in order to refine the intervention for a larger clinical trial. This will include:

    • Evaluate all aspects of implementation (numbers of subjects contacted, enrollment, attrition; problems and solutions identified using the telehealth platform, time for delivery; subject acceptance and perception).
    • Evaluate feasibility of the data collection methods (time required for data collection, missing data, reliability estimates of outcomes).
    • Estimate effect sizes for sample size determinations for a future, larger clinical trial.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Physical Activity Measures

    Pilot test the impact of the Physical Activity Promotion Telehealth Intervention in post-PCI patients over time compared to patients receiving attention only, on the following outcomes:

    • Movement through the stages of readiness for physical activity.
    • Behavior change constructs (self efficacy for exercise, decisional balance, and use of processes for change).
    • Amount of physical activity (estimated energy expenditure per day as measured by the actigraph accelerometer) and exercise (reported minutes exercising per day).

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Physical Activity Promotion Intervention in people with Physical Activity, run by University of Nebraska at 2 sites in United States.

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 8 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 6 Sep 2023. 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 United States. 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?

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?

Feasibility Aspects of the Physical Activity Telehealth Intervention (time frame: 6 months). 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 6 Sep 2023.
