About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effectiveness of Home and Supervised Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Candidate Patients With Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction

The recent years, the use of bronchoscopic lung volume reduction in emphysema patients instead of surgical operations has become widespread. Before this procedure, the implementation of Pulmonary Rehabilitation became a necessity. The inadequacy of the number of Pulmonary Rehabilitation Centers in our country and in our city and the increasing number of mentioned operations have increased the need for different exercise program applications. Prior to valve and coil applications in our study, changes in clinical conditions of patients will be examined if Pulmonary Rehabilitation is performed at home or in a hospital.

Read the detailed description

The records of emphysema patients referred to the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Unit for prophylactic pulmonary rehabilitation prior to bronchoscopic lung volume reduction will be recorded prospectively. Two parallel groups will be formed from patients with hospital-based pulmonary rehabilitation (Group 1) and those with home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (Group 2). The patient will receive an 8-week Pulmonary Rehabilitation Exercise Program and will be reevaluated after 8 weeks. The differences in the parameters of initial and rehabilitation end-tracing and the differences between the groups will be examined.

What participants receive

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

  • Hospital-based pulmonary rehabilitationOther

    The patient will receive an 8-week Pulmonary Rehabilitation Exercise Program including breathing exercises, treadmill walking, cycle ergometer, arm ergometer training and strengthening trainning with free weights at hospital.

  • Home-based pulmonary rehabilitationOther

    The patient will receive an 8-week Pulmonary Rehabilitation Exercise Program including breathing exercises, free-walking, and strengthening training with free weights at home

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline distance covered in six-minute walk test at 8 weeks

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Change from baseline modified Medical Council Dyspnea score at 8 weeks

    The scale will rate the sensation of dyspnea as the person perceives it.The severity of dyspnea is rated on a scale of 0 to 4."0 point" means no dyspnea perception and "4point" means severe dyspnea perception.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Change from baseline Chronic Obstructive Airway Disease assesment test(CAT) score at 8 weeks

    The COPD Assessment Test (CAT) is a questionnaire for people with COPD. It is designed to measure the impact of COPD on a person's life, and how this changes over time. Range of CAT scores from 0-40. Higher scores denote a more severe impact of COPD on a patient's life.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Change from baseline Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) at 8 weeks

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hospital-based pulmonary rehabilitation and Home-based pulmonary rehabilitation in people with Emphysema and Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction, run by Istanbul Medipol University Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
