About this study

Official title: Effect Of Postoperative Inspiratory Muscle Training And Strength Exercise Training On Functional Capacity, Quality of Life, Respiratory Functions, Respiratory Muscle Strength And Endurance in Bariatric Surgery Patients

The aim of the investigator's study is to investigate whether postoperative inspiratory muscle training and resistance exercise training has an effect on functional capacity, respiratory functions, respiratory muscle strength and endurance in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

Read the detailed description

Obesity is an important health problem that can affect the entire organ and system of the body, leading to various disorders and even death. The fact that BMI is over 40 kg / m2 is defined as morbid obesity. The most effective treatment step in morbid obesity is bariatric surgery.

The impairment of inspiratory muscle function related to obesity is associated with increased lung elastic load, excessive lengthening in the abdominal muscles, and dissolution of the diaphragm, leading to inspiratory muscle weakness and insufficiency. The decrease in its endurance is explained by the decrease of glycogen synthase activity in skeletal muscles. It was found that there was less decrease in the inspiratory muscle training patients whose MIP values were measured before bariatric surgery compared to those who could not do MIP values after surgery.

Respiratory functions due to obesity are impaired due to restrictive mass increase in chest wall, tendency to breathe in low lung volumes and the effect of fat distribution on pleural pressure. Total lung volume, expiratory reserve volume (ERV), reserve volume (RV), vital capacity (VC), functional residual capacity (FRC), FVC, and FEV1 values are low.

After bariatric surgery, patients' muscle strength decreased. In particular, there was a decrease in muscle strength in quadriceps, hamstring, biceps, triceps. The decrease in muscle strength after surgery has been associated with a decrease in muscle mass. It was stated that patients who did not exercise after surgery lost 7.6 kg of muscle, which was 29.7% of the total lost body weight. Resistance exercises performed after bariatric surgery have a positive impact on patients' muscle strength and functional capacity.

Obesity causes a decrease in functional capacity. Increased step width, reduced walking speed and step length are shown for the main reasons. Decreased inspiratory muscle strength in patients undergoing surgery causes weakness in peripheral muscles. This weakness in peripheral muscles also reduces the functional capacity of patients. Inspiratory muscle training studies increase the functional capacity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Resistance Exercise Training and Inspiratory Muscle Training in people with Obesity, Morbid, run by Bezmialem Vakif University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 22 Jun 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 13 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Jun 2020.
