Trial summary

Whole body vibration training seems to be a useful adjunct in exercise training in patients with severe COPD. The basic principle relies on reflectory muscle contractions caused by a vibration stimulus. Until now the impact of whole body vibration training on cardiopulmonary parameters remained unknown.

About this study

Official title: Cardiorespiratory Response During Whole Body Vibration Training in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)

Whole body vibration training seems to be a useful adjunct in exercise training in patients with severe COPD. The basic principle relies on reflectory muscle contractions caused by a vibration stimulus. Until now the impact of whole body vibration training on cardiopulmonary parameters remained unknown. Therefore aim of this study is to investigate cardiopulmonary parameters during whole body vibration training in patients with chronic lung disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak)

    subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

    Measured: during 1 exercise session

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. heart rate (HR)

    subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

    Measured: during 1 exercise session

  2. minute ventilation (VE)

    subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

    Measured: during 1 exercise session

  3. perceived exertion for dyspnea and leg fatigue (Borg-scale)

    subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

    Measured: during 1 exercise session

  4. Alveolar-arterial oxygen difference (AaDO2)

    subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

    Measured: during 1 exercise session

  5. breathing frequency (BF)

    subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

    Measured: during 1 exercise session

  6. peak carbon-dioxide consumption (VCO2 peak)

    subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

    Measured: during 1 exercise session

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Whole body vibration in people with Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (n=10) and Interstitial Lung Disease (n=10), run by Schön Klinik Berchtesgadener Land at 1 site in Germany.

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 7 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 24 Feb 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 Germany. 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?

peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak) (time frame: during 1 exercise session). 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 24 Feb 2016.
