About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Reaction Time and Postural Control in Individuals With Cystic Fibrosis and Bronchiectasis

The aim of this study is to evaluate the reaction time and postural control and to investigate the relationship between reaction time, exercise capacity, muscle oxygenation and balance in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF bronchiectasis. 40 patients including 20 CF patients and 20 non-CF bronchiectasis and 20 healthy individuals will be included in this study. Demographic and physical characteristics' will be recorded. Lung function testing will be performed. Balance will be assessed using functional reach test, exercise capacity was measured using the incremental shuttle walking test and reaction time will be assessed using ''Fitlight TrainerTM''. Heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, muscle oxygenation, dyspnea and fatigue perception will be measured before and after exercise test and reaction time measurement.

What participants receive

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

  • Reaction Time and Postural ControlOther

    Reaction Time and Postural Control: With ''Fitlight TrainerTM'', 6 light emitting diode (LED) lights placed at certain points on the wall are randomly lit and expected to deactivate them as fast as possible. In the protocol, the leds will be placed according to the physical structure of the person, and the scores of 29 LED's will be kept in seconds. The scores will be compared cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis and healthy groups.

  • Muscle oxygenationOther

    Muscle oxygenation will be assessed with wearable lactate threshold predicting device in cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis and healthy groups.

  • Exercise capacityOther

    Exercise capacity will be assessed with incremental shuttle walk test in cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis and healthy groups.The patient is required to walk around two cones set 9 metres apart (so the final track is 10 metres) in time to a set of auditory beeps played on a CD. Initially, the walking speed is very slow, but each minute the required walking speed progressively increases.The patient walks for as long as they can until they are either too breathless or can no longer keep up with the beeps, at which time the test ends The number of shuttles is recorded. Each shuttle represents a distance of ten metres

  • BalanceOther

    Balance will be assessed with functional reach test in cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis and healthy groups Functional Reach measures the maximum distance a person can reach forward, the distance of the person standing at the edge of the wall with a 90-degree shoulder flexion and the maximum distance to the front of the thumb will be noted.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reaction Time and Postural Control

    Reaction Time and Postural Control: With bunlar Fitlight TrainerTM muş, 6 led lights placed at certain points on the wall are randomly lit and expected to extinguish them as fast as possible. In the protocol, the leds will be placed according to the physical structure of the person, and the scores of 29 LEDs will be kept in seconds. The scores will be compared cystic fibrosis, bronciechtasis and healthy groups.

    Measured: 8 minutes

  2. Muscle oxygenation

    Muscle oxygenation will be assessed with wearable lactate threshold predicting device in cystic fibrosis, bronciechtasis and healthy groups.

    Measured: 40 minutes (during the incremental shuttle walk test+reaction and postural control protocol)

  3. Exercise capacity

    Exercise capacity will be assessed with incremental shuttle walk test in cystic fibrosis, bronciechtasis and healthy groups.The patient is required to walk around two cones set 9 metres apart (so the final track is 10 metres) in time to a set of auditory beeps played on a CD. Initially, the walking speed is very slow, but each minute the required walking speed progressively increases.The patient walks for as long as they can until they are either too breathless or can no longer keep up with the beeps, at which time the test ends The number of shuttles is recorded. Each shuttle represents a distance of ten metres

    Measured: 20 minutes

  4. Balance

    Balance will be assessed with functional reach test in cystic fibrosis, bronciechtasis and healthy groups Functional Reach measures the maximum distance a person can reach forward, the distance of the person standing at the edge of the wall with a 90-degree shoulder flexion and the maximum distance to the front of the thumb will be noted.

    Measured: 5 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis and Bronchiectasis, run by Hacettepe 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 5 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 3 Apr 2019. 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 Jan Dik (+90-537-572-9960, fztjandik@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reaction Time and Postural Control (time frame: 8 minutes). The study lists 4 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 NCT03902236, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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?
