About this study

Official title: SNIF (Sniff Nasal Inspiratory Force) REFERENCE VALUES OF MEDITERRANEAN POPULATION.

SNIF test has been described as a method to explore the diaphragmatic function. But there are no defined the reference values of this test in healthy population. The investigators' hypothesis is that there is a variation on SNIF values in Mediterranean population depending on gender, age and anthropometric variables such as height and weight.

The investigators will analyze 1000 SNIF test of healthy people. The investigators will divide in 5 groups of age (20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 50-60, 60-70) and in each group the investigators will study 100 men and 100 women.

All the subjects will perform a forced spirometry, maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and SNIF. If spirometry and MIP are correct the investigators will consider that person has a correct diaphragmatic function and strength. Then the investigators will measure the SNIF test. With all of these SNIF values the investigators will try to achieve the reference values of this test in the different groups of age in Mediterranean population. And the investigators will compare SNIF with MIP.

Cross multicentric study. Hospitals involved: Hospital de Bellvitge, Hospital del Mar, Hospital Parc Taulí, Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (coordinator center) and Hospital de la Vall d'Hebrón.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy People Programs, run by Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau at 1 site in Spain.

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 20 Mar 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 Spain. 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?

SNIF test (time frame: Basal). 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 20 Mar 2017.
