Trial summary

We hypothesized that early exercise rehabilitation for patients with severe sepsis or septic shock would decrease their functional disability and cognitive impairment. We plan to enroll patients with severe sepsis and septic shock who admitted an urban teaching hospital in Seoul, South Korea via ER. Read more about this study

About this study

We hypothesized that early exercise rehabilitation for patients with severe sepsis or septic shock would decrease their functional disability and cognitive impairment. We plan to enroll patients with severe sepsis and septic shock who admitted an urban teaching hospital in Seoul, South Korea via ER. We will randomize those subjects into the intervention group which will take a standardized rehabilitation with routine clinical care for sepsis and the control group which will take routine clinical care for sepsis. And, we plan to assess their functional activity using ADL, IADL and SF-36, and cognitive function using MMSE at the time of enrollment, 28 days, and 6 months later.

What is being measured

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

  1. Severe functional disability

    We will assess the functional activity with 0-11 score of 6 ADL(walking, dressing, bathing, eating, getting into and out of bed, toileting) and 5 IADL(preparing a hot meal, shopping for groceries, making telephone calls, taking medicines, managing money). If the patient has a score 4 or more, the patient will be considered to have a severe functional disability.

    Measured: 6 months after enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing exercise rehabilitation in people with Severe Sepsis or Septic Shock, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 13 Apr 2016. 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 South Korea. 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?

Severe functional disability (time frame: 6 months after enrollment). 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 13 Apr 2016.
