About this study
Fatigue is a common symptom in people living with HIV (PHAs) that affects all aspects of life . This would include physical deconditioning, a reduction in motor skills . Numerous studies show that physical activity brings benefits for the quality of life of PHAs . However, due to the predominantly reported fatigue, many PHAs are not physically active enough in relation to these recommendations. While it is recognized that fatigue is predominant in PHAs, this complaint has mainly been subjectively quantified and has rarely been physically objectified a better understanding of the relationship between neuromuscular fatigue, perceived fatigue and the level of physical activity of PHAs is needed in line with current work on integrating fatigue.
OBJECTIVES This project, based on an integrative (eg, neurophysiological and psychological) approach to fatigue, aims to better explain and prevent the vicious circle of physical deconditioning in PHAs by examining the relationships between neuromuscular fatigue, perceived fatigue, Physical activity of patients.

The main objective of the study will be to compare the characteristics of neuromuscular fatigue in physically active or inactive PHAs.
The secondary objective will be to examine the relationship between neuromuscular fatigue, level of physical activity and perceived physical fatigue of PHAs.
CONDUCT OF THE STUDY Cross-sectional comparative study without individual benefit for the patient. Monocentric test to quantify and relate neuromuscular fatigue, perceived physical fatigue, and physical activity level. The main inclusion criteria for this study are: PLHIV aged between 40 and 60; Diagnosed and treated with antivirals after 1996, irrespective of the value of the viral load and CD4 lymphocyte level at the last assessment; The physical activity level of the patients will be evaluated before the start of the study in order to constitute two distinct groups
- Principal evaluation criterion: Investigation of the neurophysiological characteristics of fatigue will be done by recording the capacity to produce force at the level of the extensor muscles of the knee under conditions of voluntary contractions and evoked by magnetic stimulation at the level of Femoral nerve.
- Secondary evaluation criteria: the investigation of the perceived fatigue will be done by a valid psychometric questionnaire.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Neuromuscular tests in people with HIV Seropositivity, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 1 site in France.
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 3 inclusion and 14 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 24 Jul 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 France. 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?
relationship between neuromuscular fatigue, perceived fatigue and the level of physical activity (time frame: through study completion, 1 year after the start). 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 24 Jul 2018.
