Trial summary

Lipid Storage Diseases (LSD) is a group of metabolic diseases that are manifested by exercise intolerance or muscle weakness, sometimes accompanied by systemic findings, which develop in some stages of muscle contraction due to necessary lipid transfer or destruction pathways.

About this study

Official title: The Investigation of Daily Living Activities and Exercise Capacity in Lipid Storage Diseases

Lipid Storage Diseases (LSD) is a group of metabolic diseases that are manifested by exercise intolerance or muscle weakness, sometimes accompanied by systemic findings, which develop in some stages of muscle contraction due to necessary lipid transfer or destruction pathways. Exercise intolerance in LSD can limit not only physical activity but also daily activities. In the literature, no study evaluated the activities of daily living in patients with LSD. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of exercise capacity and daily living activities on the clinical features of LSD patients.

Read the detailed description

Pulmonary functions are affected negatively in Lipid Storage Diseases (LSD). It was shown that respiratory muscle strength and peak cough flow decreased in these cases. Other respiratory system problems can be listed as; diaphragmatic dysfunction, hypoxemia, and hypercapnia. Routine evaluation of respiratory function in LSD is recommended. A limited number of studies have shown that exercise tolerance is limited by the blockage of fat oxidation on the basis of muscle weakness and fatigue in LSD. Although the assessment of exercise capacity is also an important indicator of heart-lung capacity monitoring, exercise capacity is not routinely measured in patients with LSD. Exercise intolerance can limit not only physical activity but also daily activities. In the literature, the investigator's did not find any study evaluating the activities of daily living in patients with LSD. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of exercise capacity and daily living activities on the clinical features of LSD patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. 6 minutes walking test

    Exercise capacity will be evaluated with 6 minutes walking test

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Activity limitation (ACTIVLIM) questionnaire

    Activities of daily living will be evaluated Activlim questionnaire. The questionnaire is consists of 22 questions. Minimum score is 0 and total score is 88. Higher scores indicate worse conditions.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Rivermead mobility index

    Mobility will be evaluated with Rivermead mobility index. The questionnaire consists of 14 questions. Minimum score is 0, maximum score is 15. Higher scores indicate better conditions.

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Hand held dinamometer

    Hand held dinamometer will be used for the measurement of upper and lower muscle strength.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lipid Storage Disease, run by Istanbul University 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 1 inclusion and 6 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 16 Aug 2023. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Goksen Kuran Aslan, Assoc.Prof (+90 (212) 414 15 28 ext. 40167, goksenkuran@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

6 minutes walking test (time frame: 1 day). 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 NCT03875105, 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 Aug 2023.
