About this study

Official title: Assessment of Exercise Capacity, Physical Activity, Pulmonary Function, Peripheric and Respiratory Muscle Strength, Respiratory Muscle Endurance in Patient With Peripheral Artery Disease

The primary aim of the study is to evaluate the maximal and submaximal exercise capacity in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The secondary aim of the study is assessment of physical activity level, respiratory function, peripheral and respiratory muscle strength, respiratory muscle endurance, depression, quality of life, intermittent claudication and cardiovascular risk factors in patients with PAD.

Read the detailed description

Peripheral artery disease is characterized by reduced exercise capacity, physical activity level and intermittent claudication. The number of studies investigating maximal and submaximal exercise capacity and physical activity level in PAD is limited. There is also no study investigated pulmonary functions, respiratory muscle strength and endurance in this patient population. According to the sample size analysis 15 patients and 15 healthy individuals with similar demographic characteristics will be included the study. Patients and healthy individuals will be selected according to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The assessments will be completed in two days.Maximal exercise capacity will be assessed using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), functional exercise capacity using six minute stepper test, physical activity using multi-sensor activity monitor, pulmonary function using spirometry, respiratory muscle strength using mouth pressure device, peripheral muscle strength using hand held dynamometer, respiratory muscle endurance using incremental threshold loading test, depression using Beck depression inventory (Turkish version), life quality using SF-36 Health Survey (Turkish version), intermittent claudication using Walking Impairment Questionnaire (Turkish version)

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 9 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 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Maximal exercise capacity (time frame: First day). 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 NCT03458754, which also lists 6 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 24 Nov 2020.
