About this study

A single session of Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation (with Cough AssistÒ) may improve airway flow and gas exchange in neuromuscular atrophy patients. The goal of this study is to confirm the beneficial effects of this treatment in a larger neuromuscular population, to study its mechanisms of action and to assess whether the effects observed persist over time. A better knowledge of this treatment should help to define its position in the respiratory management of neuromuscular patients.

Read the detailed description

30 SMA and DMD adult patients will be recruited in the home ventilation unit of the intensive care department of Raymond Poincaré Hospital (Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris,Garches, France).

Respiratory parameters and comfort will be evaluated before and after (5min,

1h, 3h) a MI-E session. Vital capacity, maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures (PImax and PEmax), peak cough flow and peak expiratory flows will be measured. Breathing pattern will be recorded allowing the measurements of respiratory frequency, tidal volume, Inspiratory time (Ti),total breath (Ttot) during tidal breathing and the calculation of tension-time index (TT0.1).

Gas exchange will be evaluated by measuring end tidal CO2, transcutaneous CO2 and pulse oxymetry.

Respiratory comfort will be assessed with a visual analog scale. Optoelectronic plethysmography will be use to perform regional ventilation evaluation. Using chest wall motion analysis we will compute respiratory participation of upper, lower thorax and abdomen, right and left side.

Results should allow to analyse the effects of MI-E on regional ventilation. The mechanisms of action of MI-E on respiration and chest-wall motion will be analysed and the persistence of the beneficial effect of MI-E will be assessed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Plethysmography opto electronic and respiratory parameters in people with Mechanical Insufflation-exsufflation Session ( With Cough Assist), run by Centre d'Investigation Clinique et Technologique 805 at 1 site in France.

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 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 24 Mar 2015. 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 France. 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?

maximal inspiratory pressures (time frame: 2 hours). 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 Mar 2015.
