About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Reliability of Different Devices to Measure Lung Function With the Forced Oscillation Technique

The objective of the study is to evaluate the reliability of the impedance data in adult subjects measured with five different FOT devices.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the reliability of the respiratory impedance measured with different FOT (=Forced Oscillation Technique) devices. To this end, the respiratory impedance of fifty adult subjects will be measured in random order with five different forced oscillation devices. As there is no "gold standard" FOT-device, each setup will be compared to all other setups.

Secondary study questions are: 1) is there a specific comfort (or discomfort) associated with the different measuring devices 2) Guidelines state that full chin and cheek support should be applied when measuring the human respiratory impedance. What is the influence of a partial cheek support?

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Disease and Healthy, run by University Hospital, Antwerp at 1 site in Belgium.

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 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 7 Feb 2014. 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 Belgium. 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?

Comparison of the respiratory impedance measured with two different FOT devices (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01868607, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 7 Feb 2014.
