Trial summary

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects some organs of the human body. Among them, the lungs tend to be the most affected due to the accumulation of mucus in the airways, which in addition to avoiding the passage of air, favors pulmonary infections. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training in Individuals Who Have Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects some organs of the human body. Among them, the lungs tend to be the most affected due to the accumulation of mucus in the airways, which in addition to avoiding the passage of air, favors pulmonary infections. With the evolution of the condition, secondary complications arise, such as postural changes, decreased respiratory muscle strength, decreased functional capacity and, consequently, quality of life. Therefore, respiratory muscle training may be an intervention that improves the respiratory condition of these individuals, allowing an improvement in the quality of life and may delay the evolution of respiratory symptoms. Thus, this study aims to investigate a home protocol of respiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, lung function, quality of life, posture and functional capacity in adolescents and adults with cystic fibrosis. The researchers believe that the training can cause an improvement in the studied variables, and can be inserted in the usual treatment of these patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Inspiratory muscle trainingDevice

    This group will initiate inspiratory muscle training with 40% of the MIP load and each week will have a load increase of 10% of the initial MIP up to 4 weeks of training

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Inspiratory muscle training in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 16 Apr 2020. 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. 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?

Change from baseline Posture at 4 weeks (time frame: Baseline and after 4 weeks of training). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03737630, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 Apr 2020.
