About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Chest PNF on Pulmonary Function in Patients With Parkinson's Diseases

Background: Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and characterized by tremor, rigidity and bradykinesia. Almost 84% of PD patient develops respiratory abnormalities and pointed as the most common cause of death. Airway obstruction, trunk muscle rigidity is the common cause of respiratory abnormalities.

Purpose: The main purpose of the study will evaluate the efficacy of chest PNF on pulmonary function and chest wall mobility in PD.

Methods: 20 participants will be recruited for study purpose and divide into two groups. Group= A will be the control group and participants will receive conventional treatment which includes deep breathing exercise and segmental breathing exercise, incentive spirometry etc for one week. Group= B participants will receive chest PNF exercise along with conventional treatment for a week. Pretreatment and post-treatment data will be recorded by the help of PFT (FVC, FEV1 \& FEV1/FVC) and chest wall expansion at axillary and xiphisternal level for data analysis. Data analysis will be done by paired t-test for within group and independent t-test will be used for the between-group variable. The level of significance will be set at 0.05.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)

    Pulmonary functions parameters FVC in litre, FEV1 in litre and ratio between FVC/FEV1 will be recorded with PFT

    Measured: changes bwtween baseline to 1 week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. chest wall expansion by inch tape

    chest wall expansion will be measured at axillary and xiphisternal level

    Measured: changes bwtween baseline to 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing chest PNF and Conventional in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Subhasish Chatterjee at 1 site in India.

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 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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 Mousumi Saha, MPT (9366787310, msaha0029@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) (time frame: changes bwtween baseline to 1 week). 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.
