About this study

Official title: BODY COMPOSITION, PERIPHERAL MUSCULAR FORCE, KINEMATIC THORACIC-ABDOMINAL, VENTILATORY METABOLIC RESPONSE, DIAPHRAGM MOBILITY AND THICKNESS PREDICTION OF OBSTRUCTION LEVEL OF COPD?

To associate a lean mass, peripheral muscle strength, kinematic thoracic-abdominal, respiratory metabolic response, mobility and diaphragmatic thickness, verifying its relation with the obstruction level of COPD

Read the detailed description

Individuals with COPD present restriction in their daily lives due to changes and bodily disorders promoted by the disease, such as changes in types of muscle fibers and chronic inflammatory process, causing a low level of physical activity and quality of life, besides being closely Related to the need for hospitalizations and increased mortality. A cross-sectional study with a convenience sample was performed at the Laboratory of Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy of the Federal University of Pernambuco during the period from December 2016 to February 2018. As measurements of body composition were performed with a bio-balance scale, Evaluation of the peripheral muscle strength will be used the dynamometer, a load cell and electromyography, a kinematic thoracic-abdominal will be measured by optoelectronic plethysmography, a respiratory metabolic response will be verified during the 6-minute walk test using the gas analyzer, and for evaluation of mobility and diaphragmatic thickness are used on ultrasound associated with pneumotachograph.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT03086590
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1COPD mild. The individuals allocated to this group have FEV1 ≥ 80% predicted.
Group 2COPD Moderate. The individuals allocated to this group have 50% ≤ FEV1 < 80% predicted.
Group 3COPD Severe. The individuals allocated to this group have 30% ≤ FEV1 < 50% predicted.
Group 4COPD Very severe. The individuals allocated to this group have FEV1 < 30% predicted.

What is being measured

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

  1. Fat-free mass

    Mass of the human body disregarding fat.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Quadriceps Force

    Quadriceps muscle strength measured during maximum voluntary contraction.

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Handgrip strength

    Maximum voluntary manual holding force.

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Total chest wall volume

    Total volume resulting from the sum of the volume of the pulmonary compartment of the costal, abdominal gradient of the costal and abdominal beds.

    Measured: Baseline

  5. Oxygen uptake

    Consumption of oxygen during an effort.

    Measured: Baseline

  6. Diaphragm mobility

    It is the diaphragmatic movement from the end of the expiration until the end of the inspiration, being able to be realized in tidal volume or starting from the total pulmonary capacity.

    Measured: Baseline

  7. Diaphragm thickness

    Defined as a corpulence of the diaphragm muscle

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Disease, Chronic 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Nov 2018. 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. 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?

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?

Fat-free mass (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Nov 2018.
