  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Older patients with COPD
  • Both genders
  • Sedentary according to International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short form
  • BMI in between 22.9 and 28 kg/m2.
  • Older patients with COPD should have a clinical-functional diagnosis of the disease according to GOLD (GOLD, 2018), have been ex-smokers and have not used corticosteroids or have used this drug in a stable way for at least one year (without dosage or medication modifications).

What is being measured

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

  1. Functional capacity

    Change in walk distance achieved in metres, measured during the six minute walk test

    Measured: before and immediately up to 12 weeks in WBV training.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Balance static and dynamic

    Change in total scores of Tinetti index, composed by 16 items divided into 2 sections: static balance (9 items) with 16 points and gait or dynamic balance (7 items) with 12 points, summed in a total score of 28 points. Individuals scoring < 26 points have a risk for falling.

    Measured: before and immediately up to 12 weeks in WBV training.

  2. Gait speed

    Change in time in seconds registered in Timed Up and Go test

    Measured: before and immediately up to 12 weeks in WBV training.

  3. Body composition

    Change in electrical bioimpedance measuring the fat mass and lean mass in kilograms each one, in total body

    Measured: before and immediately up to 12 weeks in WBV training.

  4. Quality of life measure by WHOQOL

    Change in total value obtained from WHOQOL-old questionnaire (World Health Organization of Quality Of Life) that evaluate in older the domains: sensory abilities; autonomy; past, present and future activities; social participation; death \& dying; and intimacy. The Quality of life needs to improve when it is 1 to 2,9; is regular 3 to 3.9 points; good between 4 up to 4.9 and very good with 5 points.

    Measured: before and immediately up to 12 weeks in WBV training.

  5. Peripheral strength

    Change in mean value obtained from 03 maneuvers of isokinetic contraction in a hand dynamometer (device that measure strength in handgrip), measured in centimeters of water.

    Measured: before and immediately up to 12 weeks in WBV training.

  6. Respiratory strength

    Change in major value obtained after 03 maneuvers in manovacuometer (device that measure manometry for expiratory pressure and vacuum generated for the inspiratory pressure), all in centimeters of water.

    Measured: before and immediately up to 12 weeks in WBV training.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vitamine D supplementation and chronic exercise in whole body vibration (WBV) in people with COPD and Aging, run by Maíra F Pessoa 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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Sep 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Functional capacity (time frame: before and immediately up to 12 weeks in WBV training.). 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 26 Sep 2018.
