About this study

The purpose of this preliminary study is to examine the effects of a program that includes two-months of structured lab-based training. The proposed study will examine the effects of a lifestyle physical activity intervention designed to increase PA in people with moderate and severe COPD. The intervention includes a combination of (a) structured laboratory-based exercises with a behavioral intervention, (b) structured home-based exercises and (c) lifestyle physical activities performed at home. The subjects will be followed for a total of 18 weeks.

Read the detailed description

People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) experience a gradual decline in physical activity (PA). Exercise training in a structured pulmonary rehabilitation program can generate substantial gains in functional capacity, but increases in functional capacity do not necessarily lead to improvements in daily PA. The proposed study will examine the effects of a lifestyle physical activity intervention designed to increase PA in people with moderate and severe COPD. The intervention includes a combination of (a) structured laboratory-based exercises with a self-efficacy enhancing intervention, (b) structured home-based exercises and (c) lifestyle physical activities performed at home. The intervention gradually transitions subjects from the structured laboratory-based exercises that focus on walking and circuit training to fully integrated lifestyle physical activities that integrate structured home-based exercises and lifestyle physical activities into daily life. The purpose of this preliminary study is to examine the effects of a program that includes two-months of structured lab-based training and subjects will be followed for a total of 18 weeks.

What participants receive

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

  • Lifestyle physical activity - self-efficacyBehavioural

    Subjects will come into an exercise lab 2 days per week and perform 10-20 minutes of walking, 13 strength training exercises, stretching and a behavioral intervention including goal setting, etc.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in physical activity measured by accelerometry

    Subjects wear two activity monitors for seven consecutive days (Actipal and Actigraph). The study will compare the subject's activity level at the three time points listed.

    Measured: During initial visit (week 1), at 6 or 10 weeks (depending on group placement), and at week 18

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in 6 minute walk test

    Subjects complete a 6 minute walk test measuring the total distance he/she can walk in 6 minutes at the three time points listed.

    Measured: During initial visit (week 1), at 6 or 10 weeks (depending on group placement), and at week 18

  2. Change in lower extremity function (Short Physical Performance Battery)

    Subjects complete a performance test measuring balance, gait speed, and leg strength (using a chair stand test) at the three time points listed.

    Measured: During initial visit (week 1), at 6 or 10 weeks (depending on group placement), and at week 18

  3. Change in dyspnea and fatigue (Pulmonary Functional Status and Dyspnea Questionnaire-Modified)

    Subjects complete a questionnaire answering questions about their level of dyspnea in various daily activities at the three time points listed.

    Measured: During initial visit (week 1), at 6 or 10 weeks (depending on group placement), and at week 18

  4. Change in physical activity measured by CHAMPS questionnaire

    Subjects fill out a questionnaire of their perceived physical activity at the three time points listed.

    Measured: During initial visit (week 1), at 6 or 10 weeks (depending on group placement), and at week 18

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lifestyle physical activity - self-efficacy in people with COPD, run by University of Michigan at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 Sep 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 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?

Change in physical activity measured by accelerometry (time frame: During initial visit (week 1), at 6 or 10 weeks (depending on group placement), and at week 18). 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 26 Sep 2017.
