Trial summary

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic, progressive and disabling disease and can affect functional capacity due to the weakness of the respiratory muscles. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of inspiratory muscle training on functional capacity in patients with OSA. Read more about this study

Official title: Does Inspiratory Muscle Training Improve Functional Capacity in Subjects With Obstructive Sleep Apnea? Randomized Clinical Trial

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic, progressive and disabling disease and can affect functional capacity due to the weakness of the respiratory muscles. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of inspiratory muscle training on functional capacity in patients with OSA. A pilot study will be conducted to calculate the sample. Individuals of both genders, diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea moderate or severe (measured by polysomnography) will be invited and the data collected in the Sleep Laboratory of the Pronto-Socorro Cardiológico de Pernambuco (PROCAPE), located in Recife- PE- BRAZIL. The study deals with a test-clinical randomized double-blind.The intervention groups held inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and the load is equivalent to 40% of maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP). The evaluations will be performed once a week during twelve weeks. Control groups will be submitted to a simulated training with load less than 10% of MIP (insufficient charge to train the muscles), during the same period as the intervention group. The guidelines for the training and weekly evaluations will be performed by the responsible for the researcher physiotherapist in Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy Laboratory (LACAP- UFPE). After the training period, the groups will be reassessed by the evaluation tests of functional capacity (ADL- Glittre Test and Ergospirometry), inspiratory muscle strength (manometer) and lung function (spirometry) and then compared. Expected results: The interventional groups will improve their functional capacity.

Read the detailed description

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic, progressive and disabling disease and can affect functional capacity due to the weakness of the respiratory muscles. The inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has improved exercise tolerance in other cardiopulmonary diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart failure. Objectives: Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of inspiratory muscle training on functional capacity in patients with OSA. Patients and Methods: A pilot study will be conducted to calculate the sample. Individuals of both genders, diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea moderate or severe (measured by polysomnography) will be invited and the data collected in the Sleep Laboratory of the Pronto-Socorro Cardiológico de Pernambuco (PROCAPE), located in Recife- PE- BRAZIL. The study deals with a test-clinical randomized double-blind to be held in four groups: A) Patients with OSA and Obesity - intervention, B) Patients with OSA and Obesity - control, C) Patients with OSA eutrophic - intervention , D) Patients with OSA eutrophic - control. The intervention groups held inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and the load is equivalent to 40% of maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP). The evaluations will be performed once a week during twelve weeks. Control groups will be submitted to a simulated training with load less than 10% of MIP (insufficient charge to train the muscles), during the same period as the intervention group. The guidelines for the training and weekly evaluations will be performed by the responsible for the researcher physiotherapist in Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy Laboratory (LACAP- UFPE). After the training period, the groups will be reassessed by the evaluation tests of functional capacity (ADL-Glittre Test and Ergospirometry), inspiratory muscle strength (manometer) and lung function (spirometry) and then compared. Expected results: The interventional groups will improve their functional capacity.

What participants receive

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

  • PowerbreatheDevice

    In this intervention we will use an equipment called "powerbreathe classic light". It provides us to choose resistance levels with an adjustable load setting range: 1 to 9 and it's ideal for beginners. In this research we will use it on the intervention group to improve the strength of inspiratory muscle training and evaluate the results in the functional capacity of the subjects with obstructive sleep apnea.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Powerbreathe in people with Sleep Apnea, Obstructive, run by Universidade Federal de Pernambuco at 1 site in Brazil.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 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 Brazil. 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. 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 Adília KF Souza, Mastering (55 81 9564 8415, adiliakaroline@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in maximal oxygen uptake after inspiratory muscle training (time frame: twelve weeks). 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 Oct 2015.
