About this study

Official title: Modifying Exercise for the COPD Patient With Arthritic Limitations to Improve Compliance in a Pulmonary Rehab Program

This study will test whether using the Biodex BioStep Semi Recumbent Elliptical for the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patient with arthritic limitations will improve participation in a pulmonary rehab program compared to the Nustep elliptical. The main outcome of participation will be measured by the number of exercise sessions the patient is able to complete during their pulmonary rehabilitation program. In addition, distance walked in six minutes, dyspnea score, rate of perceived exertion (RPE) score, Pain Scale Index score, and finally, the Dartmouth Quality of Life index (DQL) will be assessed in both groups. It is believed that the new machine will provide better overall outcomes compared to the traditional machine.

Read the detailed description

A Prospective cohort study of 25 COPD patients with osteoarthritis undergoing an exercise plan in a pulmonary rehab program. Patient pain level, clinical outcomes, and ultimately, quality of life outcomes will be assessed in order to assess whether future compliance for COPD arthritic patients will occur in an exercise rehabilitation program.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02143206
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Exercise MethodPatients attend exercise 80 minute exercise sessions of which 30 minutes includes aerobic exercise on a NuStep and Biodex elliptical machine. Patients pain levels are scored when using the NuStep then when using the Biodex and these scores are compared to determine which machine give the best outcome for pain management

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Exercise Sessions Attended

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Distance Walked

    Measured: 6 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Arthritis, run by Angela N Fellner PhD CCRP 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 4 inclusion and 1 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 22 Aug 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. 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?

Number of Exercise Sessions Attended (time frame: 2 years). 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 22 Aug 2018.
