About this study

Type 2 diabetes is associated with respiratory muscle weakness and autonomic neuropathy. The exercise of inspiratory muscles has been investigating in various clinical situations and may cause similar benefits as the conventional exercises. The assessment of glucose variability has been used as an alternative tool to evaluate the others mechanisms than the absolute values of glucose levels, special during the exercise. However, the effect of inspiratory muscle exercise on glucose levels and glucose variability is not clear yet. The aim of the proposed research is to evaluate the acute effects of inspiratory muscle exercise using a high load of 60% of MIP on glucose levels and glucose variability in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

High-intensity exercise of inspiratory muscle was able to reduce glucose levels in previous studies, but the mechanisms underlying this reduction remain largely unknown. The present study will investigate this phenomenon, and whether confirmed, the inspiratory muscle loading would be a new approach for lowering glucose levels and glucose variability in type 2 diabetes.

The subjects with type 2 diabetes will be recruited from the ambulatory of the Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre. The patients will be randomized to inspiratory muscle exercise with a high intensity load (MIP 60%) or to exercise with a load placebo (MIP 2%), on two different days. The subjects will come in the laboratory for three days consecutively during 2 weeks. On the first day will be placed the CGMS device. On the second day will be the controlled ventilation protocol with subsequently inspiratory muscle exercise, using 2% or 60% of MIP as randomized a priori. On the third day the CGMS will be removed. Individuals who are using beta-blockers will be advised to withdraw the medication 24 hours before the protocols. During all protocols will be recorded the continuous blood pressure to assess heart rate and blood pressure variabilities, both time and frequency domains will be analyzed. Also, the calf blood flow, inspiratory pressure, end-tidal carbon dioxide and oxygen saturation will be taking.

What participants receive

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

  • Inspiratory muscle exerciseDevice

    For inspiratory muscle exercise patients will breathe with a high load of 60% of MIP using a respiratory frequency of 15 breaths min and a prolonged duty cycle (TI/TTOT =0.7) until task failure. The blood flow, conductance and resistance arterial will be measured in the calf using plethysmography device. Arterial blood pressure and heart rate will be monitored continuously at the finger on a beat-by-beat basis by biopac equipment and the glucose levels will be captured by continuous glucose monitoring system.

  • Inspiratory muscle exercise placeboDevice

    For inspiratory muscle exercise patients will breathe with a very low load of 2% of MIP using a respiratory frequency of 15 breaths min and a prolonged duty cycle (TI/TTOT =0.7) for 10 minute. The blood flow, conductance and resistance arterial will be measured in the calf using plethysmography device. Arterial blood pressure and heart rate will be monitored continuously at the finger on a beat-by-beat basis by biopac equipment and the glucose levels will be captured by using the continuous glucose monitoring system.

What is being measured

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

  1. Glucose level

    The glucose level will be assessed by continuous glucose monitoring (CGMS) before and after exercise.

    Measured: 1 day (A session of inspiratory muscle exercise)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Glucose variability

    The variability of the glucose will be assessed by continuous glucose monitoring (CGMS) 24 hours before exercise, during the protocol and 24 hours after exercise.

    Measured: 3 days

  2. Autonomic control

    The autonomic control will be evaluated in the time domain and frequency through the Biopac.

    Measured: 1 day (A session of inspiratory muscle exercise)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Inspiratory muscle exercise in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre.

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 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Nov 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Beatriz Schann, PhD (55513359 7640, beatrizschaan@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Glucose level (time frame: 1 day (A session of inspiratory muscle exercise)). 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 NCT02292810, 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 17 Nov 2014.
