About this study

Official title: Effects of Different Modes of Respiratory Muscular Threshold Loads Training on Respiratory Mechanics and Neural Respiratory Drive(NRD) in Patient With Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD).

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by persistent airflow limitation. The patients are suffering dyspnea year by year, resulting in the decreased exercise tolerance and quality of life. Patients with COPD often have both inspiratory muscles and expiratory muscle dysfunction. Respiratory muscle training was one of the widely used pulmonary rehabilitation method in COPD patients. Respiratory muscle training include inspiratory training ,expiratory training and concurrent inspiratory and expiratory muscle training . Both of the training methods are effective. However, the effects of these different types of respiratory muscle training method on the respiratory physiology and neural respiratory drive of COPD are still unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the different effects of these respiratory muscle training methods on respiratory mechanics and central drive in COPD patients. Besides,the effect of the different respiratory muscle training methods was compared between patients with and without respiratory muscle weakness.

Read the detailed description

The patients with COPD will participate in a rehabilitation program including inspiratory muscle training, expiratory muscle training and concurrent inspiratory and expiratory muscle training.

The outcome measures are the classic respiratory mechanics indicators and respiratory center drive.

What participants receive

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

  • inspiratory pressure threshold deviceDevice

    Also called expiratory pressure threshold device, concurrent inspiratory and expiratory muscle device

    The threshold loading device is composed of a mouth -piece attached to a small plastic cylinder that contains a spring-loaded poppet value. The valve opens to permit inspiratory flow only once the person has generated adequate negative intrathoracic pressure to condense the spring.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diaphragmatic function

    Diaphragmatic function can be assessed by diaphragm electromyogram(EMGdi) which reflect the physiological activity of the diaphragm and indicate functional status of the central drive.

    Measured: Change from baseline in diaphragm electromyogram at the load of threshold (10 minutes later,20minutes later,30 minutes later, 40 minutes later)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Respiratory pressure

    Respiratory pressure parameter is transdiaphragmatic pressure ( Pdi) in cmH2O, which reflect the strength of diaphragm.

    Measured: Change from baseline in respiratory pressure at the load of threshold (10 minutes later,20minutes later,30 minutes later, 40 minutes later)

  2. Respiratory volume

    Respiratory volume parameter is minute ventilation (VE) in liter(L).

    Measured: Change from baseline in respiratory volume at the load of threshold (10 minutes later,20minutes later,30 minutes later, 40 minutes later)

  3. respiratory work

    respiratory work is associated with transdiaphragmatic pressure time product

    Measured: Change from baseline in transdiaphragmatic pressure time product at the load of threshold (10 minutes later,20minutes later,30 minutes later, 40 minutes later)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing inspiratory pressure threshold device in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by Zhujiang Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 13 Mar 2024. 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 China. 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?

Diaphragmatic function (time frame: Change from baseline in diaphragm electromyogram at the load of threshold (10 minutes later,20minutes later,30 minutes later, 40 minutes later)). 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 13 Mar 2024.
