About this study

Official title: Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training During PR on Dyspnoea and Exercise Tolerance in Chronic Obstructive (COPD)

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a respiratory disease that results in progressive airflow limitation and respiratory distress.

The benefit of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) combined with a pulmonary rehabilitation programme is uncertain. The investigators aimed to demonstrate that, in patients with obstructive pulmonary disease, IMT performed during a PRP is associated with an improvement of dyspnoea and exercise tolerance.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the inspiratory muscle training (with incremental load every two weeks in two months) performed during pulmonary rehabilitation on dyspnoea, 6 minutes walk test and quality of life using the St George's respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) in COPD patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Pulmonary rehabilitation+IMTOther

    The experimental group receives inspiratory muscle training and aerobic exercise.

  • Pulmonary rehabilitationOther

    The Active Comparator group received only aerobic exercise.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dyspnoea

    The dyspnoea were measured before and after the 6 minutes walk test

    Measured: Baseline, After 2 months

  2. Inspiratory muscle strength

    The inspiratory muscle strength were measured by maximal inspiratory pressure test

    Measured: Baseline, After 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pulmonary rehabilitation+IMT and Pulmonary rehabilitation in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Faculty of Medicine, Sousse at 1 site in Tunisia.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2020. 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 Tunisia. 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?

Dyspnoea (time frame: Baseline, After 2 months). The study lists 2 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 NCT04120142, which also lists 3 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Feb 2020.
