About this study

Official title: The Effect of a Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Lung Function and Exercise Capacity in Patients With Burn: a Prospective Randomized Single Blind Study

Inhalation burn injury and lung complications caused by large surface burns occurring during a fire remains a serious problem. Pulmonary rehabilitation has been used successfully to improve pulmonary function(PF) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. But there were no studies that pulmonary rehabilitation induce improvements in PF in patient with large surface burn and inhalation injury.

The investigators will performe pulmonary function and respiratory muscles strength evaluation in 40 patients with thermal injury in order to evaluate the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with thermally injury.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will performe pulmonary function and respiratory muscles strength evaluation in 40 patients with thermal injury in order to evaluate the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with thermally injury.

The investigators will study 40 patients who had burn injury. Burned patients will be randomized into two groups. The experimental group(EG) will participate in a 12-week pulmonary rehabilitation program daily for 60 minutes. The control group(CG) will participate in a 12-week conventional exercise program daily for 60 minutes. Spirometer will be done to evaluate pulmonary function. Pulmonary function tests include forced vital capacity(FVC), 1 second forced expiratory volume(FEV1), forced expiratory flow rate between 25 and 75% of the FVC(FEF 25-75) FEV1/FVC ratio expressed as a percentage(FEV1/FVC %) and peak expiratory flow(PEF). Maximum voluntary ventilation(MVV) and respiratory muscles strength(MEP[maximal expiratory pressure], MIP[maximal inspiratory pressure]) will be measured by mouth pressure-meter in sitting position. Pulmonary function tests will be performed for all groups at baseline and after 12 weeks programs. A 6-minute walk test and health-related quality of life will be also evaluated.

What participants receive

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

  • pulmonary rehabilitationOther

    Pulmonary rehabilitation programs were designed to include both 30 minutes resistance and 30 minutes aerobic exercises. Eight basic resistnace exercises were used incorporating, bench press, leg press, leg curl, leg extension, toe raises, biceps curl, triceps curl, shoulder press. Additionally each exercise training session also included aerobic conditioning exercises ona treadmill or cycle ergometer. Aerobic exercise training was carried out 5 days per week, with each session lasting 30 minutes. All exercise sessions were preceded by a 5-minutes warm up period on a treadmill set.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pulmonary rehabilitation in people with Inhalation Injury and Pulmonary Disease, run by Hangang Sacred Heart Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 inclusion and 8 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 10 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 South Korea. 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?

FVC (time frame: 12 weeks). The study lists 3 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 NCT04125108, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Feb 2020.
