Trial summary

Inspiratory muscle training(IMT) was one of the widely used pulmonary rehabilitation method in COPD patients.However, when the respiratory muscles are fatigue without sufficient rest, IMT may increase muscle fatigue and aggravate muscle damage. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Combined Inspiratory Muscle Training and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Pulmonary Rehabilitation for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Inspiratory muscle training(IMT) was one of the widely used pulmonary rehabilitation method in COPD patients.However, when the respiratory muscles are fatigue without sufficient rest, IMT may increase muscle fatigue and aggravate muscle damage. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) is another important strategy of pulmonary rehabilitation which could overcome airway resistance and reduce respiratory work, improve respiratory muscle fatigue. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the effective of the "IMT - NPPV sequential" rehabilitation method, that is, first inspiratory muscle training, followed by respiratory muscle resting (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation).

Read the detailed description

Exploring the effects of the new rehabilitation method of "IMT - NPPV sequential", comparing with the single rehabilitation strategy such as inspiratory muscle training and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation.

What participants receive

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

  • inspiratory pressure threshold deviceDevice

    Also called CPAP

    The threshold loading device is composed of a mouth -piece attached to a small plastic cylinder that contains a spring-loaded poppet value. The valve opens to permit inspiratory flow only once the person has generated adequate negative intrathoracic pressure to condense the spring.

What is being measured

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

  1. Respiratory muscle strength(composite outcome measure)

    Currently, the maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax) and maximal expiratory pressures(PEmax) are measured by a digital manometer (AZ-8205, AZ Instrument, Taichung City, Taiwan)and combined to evaluate respiratory muscle function.

    Measured: Change from baseline to 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Diaphragmatic function

    Diaphragmatic function can be assessed by diaphragm electromyogram (EMGdi) measured by a high-performance data acquisition device (Powerlab 16/35; ADInstruments, Australia), which reflect the physiological activity of the diaphragm and indicate functional status of the central drive.

    Measured: Change from baseline to 8 weeks

  2. Symptom Evaluation(composite outcome measure)

    Individuals with chronic respiratory disease often have symptoms such as dyspnea, fatigue, cough, weakness, sleeplessness, and psychological distress. Instruments for assessment of multiple symptoms include COPD Assessment Test (CAT) and Modified Medical British Research Council Scale(mMRC).

    Measured: Change from baseline to 8 weeks

  3. Pulmonary function(composite outcome measure)

    Pulmonary function is measured using a spirometer(PonyFX 229, Cosmed, Rome, Italy) that is calibrated daily.The FEV1 and percent-of-predicted FEV1, FVC and percent-of-predicted FVC which are presented in one report are used to evaluate Pulmonary Function.

    Measured: Change from baseline to 8 weeks

  4. Exercise capacity

    Exercise capacity is evaluated using the 6-min walking distance (6MWD) according to American Thoracic Society guidelines.

    Measured: Change from baseline to 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing inspiratory pressure threshold device in people with Pulmonary Rehabilitation, run by Zhujiang Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2024. 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 China. 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?

Respiratory muscle strength(composite outcome measure) (time frame: Change from baseline to 8 weeks). 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 13 Mar 2024.
