About this study

Official title: Effects of Respiratory Muscle Training in Muscle Force, Functional Capacity and Quality of Life in Hemodialysis Patients

Patients with chronic kidney disease in hemodialysis have complex syndrome with diverse effects on cardiovascular, nervous, respiratory, musculoskeletal, immune and endocrine-metabolic systems. With regard to the musculoskeletal structure, there is progressive muscular loss with consequent increase in muscle weakness, limited resistance, exercise intolerance and fatigue, as well as functional and morphological abnormalities characteristic of uremic myopathy. Respiratory muscles are also affected as a result of uremic myopathy, with decreased strength and resistance. Objective: to analyze the impact of respiratory muscle training on muscle strength, functional capacity and quality of life of patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. Method: This is a prospective, randomized study involving 46 patients followed by the dialysis unit of a university hospital, over 18 years old, of both genders who underwent hemodialysis for more than six months and who signed the informed consent form. Patients will be allocated into two groups: respiratory muscle training with PowerBreath and control. All will be evaluated for demographic data, respiratory muscle strength, lung function, functional capacity and quality of life. The intervention group will perform three months of intradialytic training of a physical therapy protocol with PowerBreath. Both groups will be reevaluated after three months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Manovacuometry

    RESPIRATORY MUSCLE FORCE

    Measured: Change from baseline in respiratory muscle force at 3 months

  2. Spirometry

    Pulmonary Function

    Measured: Change from baseline in Pulmonary Function at 3 months

  3. Distance in six-minute walk test

    analysis of distance

    Measured: change from baseline in distance at 3 months

  4. Quality of life questionnaire

    Analysis of the quality of life

    Measured: change from baseline in quality of life at 3 months

  5. HRR1

    heart rate recovery

    Measured: change from HR six minute walk test and seven minute

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Respiratory muscle training in people with Chronic Kidney Diseases, run by Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Santa Casa de São Paulo 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 4 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 29 Jul 2022. 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?

Manovacuometry (time frame: Change from baseline in respiratory muscle force at 3 months). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03153124, which also lists 3 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 29 Jul 2022.
