About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Whole Body Vibration for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease in the Interdialytic Period on Muscle Strength, Balance, Quality of Life and Functional Capacity: Randomized Clinical Trial

There are no studies in the literature evaluating the vibration of the whole body in patients with chronic renal failure. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of whole body vibration in patients with renal disease in the final phase in the interdialytic period. It will be a randomized, triple-blind, controlled and randomized. The pilot study will be 20 individuals initially. In intervention patients will be randomly divided into two groups: sham platform and platform. As a result it is expected that the training of whole body vibration may promote patient compliance, since it requires less physical effort for implementation and greater comfort in the application, thus allowing the sedentary and / or less active patients can benefit by to minimize the harmful effects of physical inactivity associated with pre-existing kidney problems.

Read the detailed description

Studies of chronic kidney disease has conventional hemodialysis and physical therapy exercises as the most relevant interventions in the treatment and maintenance of the quality of life of these patients, but recent studies have shown significant results also in training with whole body vibration, especially for muscle strengthening, balance and quality of life of patients with different diseases. However, there are no studies in the literature analyzing whole-body vibration in patients with chronic renal failure.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of wholy body vibration in patients with renal disease in the final stage in the interdialytic period.

Materials and Methods: A clinical trial randomized, triple-blind (patient, appraiser and statistics) controlled and supplied with random distribution. The study will be conducted in Cardiopulmonary Therapy Physical Therapy Laboratory of the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE). The sample is calculated from a pilot study to be carried out previously. The pilot study will be 20 subjects, 10 patients in each of the two groups.

In intervention patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: platform and platform sham. Training twice a week for 3 consecutive months. The evaluations will be conducted in two periods: before and after the intervention. The assessment tools are included: the isokinetic dynamometer to evaluate the maximal voluntary isometric contraction of the knee extensors, the Biodex Balance System to evaluate the static and dynamic body balance, the quality of life questionnaire specific for Chronic Renal patient - Kidney Disease Quality of Life - short Form (KDQOL-SFTM), and the 6-minute walk test to assess the functional capacity of the patient.

Expected results: It is expected that training in vibrating platform can promote patient compliance, since it requires less physical effort for implementation and greater comfort in the application, thus allowing the sedentary patients and / or less active can benefit , thus minimizing the harmful effects of physical inactivity associated with pre-existing kidney problems.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Whole Body Vibration in people with Kidney Disease, run by Universidade Federal de Pernambuco.

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 1 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 15 Nov 2016. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

muscle strength, as measured by isokinetic dynamometer (Kgf) (time frame: 3 months). 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 15 Nov 2016.
