About this study

Official title: Influence of Training With Virtual Reality on Myocardial Revascularization: Randomized Clinical Trial

Coronary artery disease is a dysfunction characterized by the narrowing of the coronary arteries in due to the accumulation of atheromatous plaques. The surgery of myocardial revascularization is a surgical procedure of choice performed in individuals with to improve symptoms and survival. Cardiovascular surgeries of this size in an extended time of rest after the procedure. Such immobility may have repercussions to the functionality of the individual. Thus, the early mobilization with the use of reality in the Intensive Care Units (ICU) emerges as a potential means of of complications in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery.

Read the detailed description

The study will be performed at the ICU coronary artery of the Hospital de Clínicas Gaspar Viana de Belém-Pará. 40 volunteers will participate in the study.

preoperative period of myocardial revascularization. The oxidative stress (by the method called Optical Morphology by Oxidative Stress, using capillary blood drops), the modulation autonomic heart rate (with a Polar® model RS800CX) and motor function (through the Medical Research Council scale), before and after the application of protocol for cardiac rehabilitation with ergometer, virtual reality and ambulation. Volunteers will be randomized into a control group who receive the cardiac rehabilitation protocol from the hospital and the Early Mobilization Group, which will receive the cardiac rehabilitation protocol plus virtual reality training using Wii video game from Nintendo.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Virtual reality training in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by Universidade Metodista de Piracicaba 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 5 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 20 Mar 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?

Cardiac autonomic modulation (time frame: 7 days). 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 NCT03350971, 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 20 Mar 2018.
