About this study

Official title: Das Multidimensionale Dyspnoe Profil (MDP) Bei COPD, Herzinsuffizienz Und Schlafapnoe

Aim of this multicenter prospective cohort study is the evaluation of the multidimensional qualities of dyspnea in a number of diseases using the Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile (Banzett et al, ERJ 2015).

Read the detailed description

The study sites will examine patients with COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) in state of acute exacerbation and in stable state, patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) in state of acute decompensated cardiac insufficiency, and patients newly diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as a control group.

In the acute setting of COPD and CHF, the questionnaire will be given at the day of hospital admission and at the day of discharge. The patients will additionally fill the Severe Respiratory Insufficiency (SRI) Questionnaire (in COPD) or the Physical Activity Questionnaire 50+ (in CHF).

In stable state of COPD, the questionnaires will be given once during a routine control visit at the hospital or the medical practice.

In OSA, the questionnaire will be given once during the first visit in the sleep laboratory.

What participants receive

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

  • Multidimensional Dyspnea ProfileDiagnostic test

    Also called MDP

    The Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile measures the intensity of dyspneic breathing discomforts. It tests five sensory qualities that describe the patient's dyspnea in its respective intensity. Additionally it includes five potential reactions. The MDP is designed to refer to a specific event of time.

What is being measured

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

  1. MDP scores during hospital stay

    A1, Scale: Scale about breathing sensations with a defined start- and endpoint (neutral - unbearable). Values reach from 0-10, and higher values represent a worse outcome.

    SQ1 (sensoric quality), Choice: 5 Phrases and terms about breathing sensations. Choose between yes and no and select one as "most accurately".

    SQ2 (sensoric quality), Scales: 5 subscales about intensity of breathing sensations (muscle work; air hunger; chest tightness; mental effort; breathing a lot) with defined start- and endpoints (none - as intense as imaginable). Values reach from 0 - 10, and higher values represent a worse outcome.

    A2 (emotional quality), Scales: 5 subscales about emotions (depressed, anxious, frustrated, angry, afraid) with defined start- and endpoints (none - as intense as imaginable). Values reach from 0 - 10, and higher values represent a worse outcome.

    Measured: day 1 to day 5

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. comparison of MDP scores with clinical data

    comparison of the A1 and A2 (scale 0-10) and SQ2 (scale 0-10) scores of the MDP between the diseases, the evaluation of dependencies of clinical routine data with the MDP scores

    Measured: 1 to 5 (+- 3) days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile in people with COPD Exacerbation and CHF, run by Institut für Pneumologie Hagen Ambrock eV at 4 sites in Germany.

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 4 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 14 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Germany. 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?

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?

MDP scores during hospital stay (time frame: day 1 to day 5). 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 14 Jul 2023.
