About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Inspiratory Muscle Training With Antihypertensive Breathing Technique on Lung and Exercise Capacity in Elderly With Isolated Systolic Hypertension

Study the effects of inspiratory muscle training at Low load of 25 %Maximal inspiratory pressure with slow breathing rate at 6 breaths/min on inspiratory muscle strength, lung function, chest wall expansion, abdominal expansion, exercise capacity and blood pressure in elderly with Isolated systolic hypertension.

Read the detailed description

Study the effects of inspiratory muscle training at Low load of 25 % Maximal inspiratory pressure with slow breathing rate at 6 breaths/min with BreatheMAXยฎdevice for 8 weeks at home on inspiratory muscle strength, lung function (slow vital capacity, inspiratory capacity), chest wall expansion, abdominal expansion, exercise capacity by arm ergometry and blood pressure in elderly with Isolated systolic hypertension. who have age 60-80 years.

What participants receive

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

  • Inspiratory Muscle TrainingOther

    Inspiratory muscle training at 25%MIP with Slow breathing at 6 breath per min with BreatheMAX device for 8 weeks at home

  • ControlOther

    Inspiratory muscle training at 2 cmH2O with Slow breathing at 6 breath per min with BreatheMAX device for 8 weeks at home

Study groups in NCT02752217
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT)ExperimentalSubjects in the inspiratory muscle training (IMT) group will perform loaded deep breathing exercise at 6 breaths/min using BreatheMaxยฎ device. The IMT protocol at 6 breathing rate (inspiratory time = 4 seconds and expiratory time = 6 seconds) with load at 25 percent of MIP for eighth weeks. The pressure will be control by pressure manometer and duty cycle are control by subjects count duration for inspiration and expiration during training. The program will perform at home for 10 breaths/min/set, 6 sets/day with at least 1 minutes rest between sessions, 7 days/week for 8 weeks
Receives: Other: Inspiratory Muscle Training
ControlPlacebo comparatorSubjects in the control (CON) group will perform breathing exercise with inspiratory load at 2 cmH2O at 6 breathing rate using one BreatheMAXยฎ device. The pressure will be control by pressure manometer and duty cycle are control by subjects count duration for inspiration and expiration during training. The program will perform at home for 10 breaths/min/set, 6 sets/day with at least 1 minutes rest between sessions, 7 days/week for 8 weeks
Receives: Other: Control

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP)

    MIP will be measure by Mouth pressure meter (Micro RPM, Micro Medical, Inc., Chatham Maritime, Kent)

    Measured: Baseline and at 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Lung capacity

    Lung capacity consists of slow vital capacity (SVC), inspiratory capacity (IC). SVC and IC will be measure by a portable computerized spirometer (KoKo spirometer)

    Measured: Baseline and at 8 weeks

  2. Exercise capacity

    Exercise capacity by Arm ergometer consists of exercise times, rating of perceived breathlessness (RPB) will examined by Borg scale

    Measured: Baseline and at 8 weeks

  3. Chest wall expansion and abdominal expansion

    chest wall expansion and abdominal expansion measured at xiphoid process level and middle between the ambrical and xiphiod process level by use a flexible measuring tape (cm)

    Measured: Baseline and at 8 weeks

  4. Blood pressure (BP)

    Blood pressure (BP) at home measured by digital bedside monitor. Accordingly follow ACMS recommended. And BP at laboratory test measured by Bedside monitor.

    Measured: Baseline and at 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Inspiratory Muscle Training in people with Hypertension, run by Khon Kaen University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 6 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 26 Apr 2016. 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 Thailand. 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 Phailin Tongdee, Master (0862957922, pang_haru@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline in Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) (time frame: Baseline and at 8 weeks). 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 NCT02752217, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 26 Apr 2016.
