About this study

Serious side effects occurs with disease and treatments in survival after lung cancer. For this reason, functional capacity, cognitive status, pain perception and respiratory functions may be affected in lung cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength and endurance, functional capacity, pain, cognitive status level, and physical activity in lung cancer patients and compare with the findings of healthy subjects

Read the detailed description

This study was participated lung cancer patients survivors. Patients' pulmonary function test, functional capacity, respiratory muscle strength and endurance, pain and cognitive status was assessed and recorded.

Pulmonary function testing (PFT), mouth pressure measurement (MIP- maximal inspiratory pressure and MEP- maximal expiratory pressure), respiratory muscle endurance test, six minute walk test (6MWT) and pain threshold and tolerance test were used. In addition to physiological measurements, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale was used to evaluate cognitive status, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to determine the level of physical activity.

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

  • Functional capacityDiagnostic test

    Also called Exercise capacity

    Six minute walk test used assessment of functional capacity. For respiratory function mouth pressures, for cognitive functions MoCA scale and for pain assessment pain threshold and tolerance test assessed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Functional capacity

    Six minute walk test: Distance walked in six minute was recorded

    Measured: 15 minutes

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Respiratory muscle strength assessment

    Respiratory muscle strength was evaluated by measuring maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP).

    Measured: 10 minutes

  2. Respiratory muscle endurance

    Pressure time unit: A constant load test was used to evaluate respiratory muscle endurance. Using a PowerBreathe device (HaB International Ltd., Southam, UK), the participants were asked to breathe maintaining a constant threshold (60% of MIP) until task failure, and the test duration was recorded. Results were obtained by multiplying the set pressure by the test duration

    Measured: 10 minutes

  3. Pulmonary functions test

    pulmonary functions assessment via spirometry

    Measured: 15 minutes

  4. Cognition using MoCA-Test

    Cognitive function was evaluated with the secreening tool the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The MoCA is a 30-point screening tool. Higher scores mean a better outcome.

    Measured: 10 minutes

  5. Pressure pain threshold assessment

    Pressure pain threshold was evaluated via algometer. The pressure at which the individual first reported pain was recorded.

    Measured: 15 minute

  6. Pressure pain tolerance assessment

    Pressure pain tolerance test was evaluated via algometer.The pressure at which the individual last pressure point at which they could endure the pain was recorded.

    Measured: 15 minute

  7. Physical activity level

    International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form

    Measured: 5 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Neoplasm and Survivorship, run by Hacettepe 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 16 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?

Functional capacity (time frame: 15 minutes). 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 16 Jun 2020.
