Trial summary

Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is an intervention used with success in the outpatient setting within the COPD population. Use of IMT is also theoretically possible during mechanical ventilation. This study will will assess the feasibility and safety of the study of IMT in the patient population. Read more about this study

Study groups in NCT02003053
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
IMTExperimentalIn the IMT group, inspiratory muscle training will start with 30% of MIP, for five minutes twice a day with increments of 10 % (absolute) everyday. Supplemental oxygen will be given as needed. The exercise will be done seven days a week until patient achieves liberation from mechanical ventilation or ICU/CCU discharge.
Receives: Device: Inspiratory Muscle Trainer
ShamSham comparatorIn the SHAM group, sham device will be used to train subjects 5 minutes twice a day, seven days a week until patient achieves liberation from mechanical ventilation or ICU/CCU discharge.
Receives: Device: Inspiratory Muscle Trainer

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and Feasibility of Inspiratory Muscle Training

    The number of patients tolerating Inspiratory Muscle Training or Sham.

    Measured: Baseline and until participant is extubated or discharged from the critical care unit (up to 1 month post-baseline)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Inspiratory Muscle Trainer in people with Critically Ill and Respiratory Failure, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences 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 3 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 Sep 2018. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Dec 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Safety and Feasibility of Inspiratory Muscle Training (time frame: Baseline and until participant is extubated or discharged from the critical care unit (up to 1 month post-baseline)). 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 7 Sep 2018.
