About this study

testing of autonomic function and relationship with exercise and Qol in diabetic patients and controls

Read the detailed description

Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy is a common (sub)clinical symptom in persons with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Subjects in this non-commercial, monocentric, interventional study undergo autonomic function tests, a maximal ergospirometry and three questionnaires about the quality of life (EQ-5D-3L), the capacity to do physical activities (IPAQ) and the experience of possible symptoms of autonomic dysfunction in daily life (SCOPA-AUT). In this way the influence of type 1 diabetes mellitus on the quality of life, the exercise capacity and the autonomic function can be studied.

The primary aim of this study investigates the potential correlations between the severity of diabetic cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (DCAN) and both the quality of life and the exercise capacity. As a secondary aim, the influences of gender, age, number of years since diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus, VO2 max predicted, maximal heart rate during exercise, minimal heart rate in rest, maximal RER (Respiratory exchange ratio) and relevant interaction terms are studied.

In total 52 test subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus and 27 matched control subjects are selected to participate in this study.

What participants receive

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

  • autonomic function testingDiagnostic test

    autonomic function testing, ergospirometry, three questionnaires

    Other Names:

    • The autonomic function tests consist of five tests:
    • The Valsalva maneuver
    • The isometric handgrip test
    • The deep breathing test
    • The cold pressor test
    • A short head-up tilt test
    • A maximal ergospirometry
    • Three questionnaires:
    • EQ-5D-3L: quality of life
    • IPAQ: capacity to do physical activities

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing autonomic function testing in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Hasselt University at 1 site in Belgium.

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 10 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 17 Apr 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 Belgium. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

VO2 max (time frame: day 1). 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 17 Apr 2018.
