About this study

Official title: Effects of High-intensity Inspiratory Muscle Training in Chronic Kidney Disease: Randomized Clinical Trial

Chronic kidney disease is a renal injury and progressive and irreversible loss of kidney function and in its most advanced stage is called chronic renal failure. Although hemodialysis replace some kidney function, patients suffer some alterations characterized by "uremic syndrome" typically expressed by: motor neuropathy and/ or autonomic neuropathy, cardiac or musculoskeletal myopathies, peripheral vascular changes, among others. Thereby, the the adoption of physical exercise should be encouraged. However, it is known that the ability to exercise the subject in hemodialysis is low and they present weakness of the peripheral muscular system, including inspiratory muscles. The aim of this study is to assess the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on ventilatory muscle strength and functional capacity of patients with chronic kidney disease in hemodialysis. For this the following assessments will be performed before and after intervention: six-minute walk test to functional capacity; Kidney Disease and Quality of Life - Short Form questionnaire for quality of life; flow-mediated dilatation to endothelial function; sit-to-stand test for proximal strength of lower limbs. The subjects will be randomized into two groups, IMTG (inspiratory muscle training group) and CG (control group). The first will receive the IMT, for five weeks, three times a week, during hemodialysis session and the patients will be oriented to realize more three days at home. The control group only will be evaluated and re-evaluated. Expected results at the end of the protocol with IMT are: increased inspiratory muscle strength; longest distance covered on the six-minute walk test; improved quality of life; increased muscle strength of the lower limbs; improved endothelial function.

Read the detailed description

The research will be developed in the hemodialysis unit of the Santa Clara hospital of Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre. After the selection of patients for eligibility criteria they will be randomized into IMTG or control group. First all patients will be evaluated, and subsequently the patients in the IMTG will be trained six times per week (three times at hemodialysis unit and three times at home) for five weeks using a linear pressure load device (POWERbreathe Plus Light Resistance@, England). The sessions will take place in the first hour of dialysis and the training protocol will consist of five series with 10 repetitions, each serie with a two-minute interval or according to the patient´s feedback, using the Borg modified scale. The overload will be adjusted weekly, beginning with 50% of maximum inspiratory pressure and increasing until 70% along the protocol period. At the end of follow-up, both groups will be evaluated in order to compare.

What participants receive

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

  • Inspiratory muscle trainingOther

    Also called High intensity inspiratory muscle training

    Inspiratory muscle training will be performed during the first hour of hemodialysis treatment and the protocol will consist of five series with 10 repetitions, each series with a two-minute interval of according to patient tolerance. The overload will be adjusted weekly, beginning with 50% of the maximum inspiratory pressure, during the first week, 60% of maximum inspiratory pressure in the second and third week and 70% of maximum inspiratory pressure in the fourth and fifth weeks. Maximum inspiratory pressure will be evaluated before the protocol period and adjusted weekly by manovacuometry.

What is being measured

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

  1. Functional capacity

    Functional capacity will be assessed by the distance walked in six-minute walk test (6MWT)

    Measured: Five weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Muscle strength of inspiratory muscle

    Muscle strength will be assessed by manovacuometry

    Measured: Five weeks

  2. Proximal strength of lower limbs

    Proximal strength of lower limbs will be assessed by the number of repetitions performed in sit-and-stand test (SST).

    Measured: Five weeks

  3. Endothelial function

    Endothelial function will be assessed by flow mediated dilation technique

    Measured: Five weeks

  4. Quality of Life

    The quality of life will be assessed by questionnaire Kidney Disease and Quality-of-Life Short-Form (KDQOL-SFTM)

    Measured: Five weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Inspiratory muscle training in people with Chronic Kidney Disease, run by Federal University of Health Science of 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 Mar 2017. 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. 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 Rodrigo DM Plentz, PhD ((+55) 5185955153, roplentz@yahoo.con.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Functional capacity (time frame: Five 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 NCT03082404, 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 Mar 2017.
