About this study

Official title: Role of Resistive Inspiratory Manoeuvres During Bronchial Drainage Session in Cystic Fibrosis: a Randomized Crossover Trial

This trial aims to analyze whether the resistive inspiratory manoeuvre (RIM) performed previously to autogenic drainage (AD) technique improves the effectiveness in terms of mucus clearance during a typical bronchial drainage session in adults, stable CF patients.

Read the detailed description

It is a multicenter study. 4 different Spain Cystic Fibrosis Foundations are included in the study (Madrid, Valencia, Murcia and Aragón). All patients will perform three different arms of treatment in a crossover randomization. Each arm of treatment will be apply only in one session. The wash-out period will be one week. Before starting the trial, all patients will perform a control session without any intervention, only the outcome measures will be assess.

During the study period the patients' pharmacological treatment remained unchanged

What participants receive

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

  • Autogenic drainage (AD)Other

    It will be apply in one only session. The time spent during this bronchial drainage session will be 30 minutes All patients will perform all interventions in a randomized order.

  • Resistive inspiratory manoeuvre (RIM)Other

    It will be apply in one only session. The time spent during this bronchial drainage session will be 30 minutes All patients will perform all interventions in a randomized order.

  • Resistive inspiratory manoeuvre+autogenic drainageOther

    It will be apply in one only session. The time spent during this bronchial drainage session will be 30 minutes All patients will perform all interventions in a randomized order.

Study groups in NCT02261987
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Autogenic drainage (AD)Active comparatorPatients will perform the autogenic drainage technique following the Chevallier and Agostini recommendations.
Receives: Other: Autogenic drainage (AD)
Resistive inspiratory manoeuvre (RIM)Active comparatorPatients will perform the repetitive inspiratory manoeuvers by breathing through a fixed resistance (Power Breathe device, model KH1) . Each session will comprise to cycles of 5 inspiratory breaths (60% of maximal inspiratory pressure). Patients will be stay in both lateral decubitus position (15 min per side).
Receives: Other: Resistive inspiratory manoeuvre (RIM)
Resistive inspiratory manoeuvre+autogenic drainageActive comparatorFirst, patients will perform the resistive inspiratory manoeuvre during 10 minutes (5 min per side). Right after, patients will perform the autogenic drainage during 20 minutes.The instructions will be similar to described previously.
Receives: Other: Resistive inspiratory manoeuvre+autogenic drainage

What is being measured

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

  1. Wet sputum production

    24h wet sputum production (g) after bronchial drainage session

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Wet sputum production

    Wet sputum production (g) during bronchial drainage session

    Measured: 30 minutes

  2. Computerized respiratory sounds

    Adventitous respiratory sounds: crackles and wheezes

    Measured: 30 minutes

  3. Lung function (simply spirometry)

    Forced expiratory volume at 1 second, Forced vital capacity, Forced expiratory flow 25-75

    Measured: 30 minutes

  4. Patients´ perception

    Visual analogical scale

    Measured: 30 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Autogenic drainage (AD), Resistive inspiratory manoeuvre (RIM) and Resistive inspiratory manoeuvre+autogenic drainage in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Universidad San Jorge at 4 sites 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 5 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 15 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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?

Wet sputum production (time frame: 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02261987, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Nov 2016.
