Trial summary

COVID 19 has become a pandemic and has led to high demand on healthcare systems. It can cause a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS CoV-2) which leads to a long hospital stay, developing important functional damage and making hospital discharge difficult. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Efects of Inspiratory Muscle Training in Patients With COVID-19 After Acute Phase. Prospective Study

COVID 19 has become a pandemic and has led to high demand on healthcare systems. It can cause a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS CoV-2) which leads to a long hospital stay, developing important functional damage and making hospital discharge difficult. Elderly, obese and people with chronic diseases are more susceptible to contracting the disease, this profile of patients already has a predisposition for respiratory muscle weakness and in this context, after clinical stability, it is still necessary in a hospital environment to approach respiratory and motor physiotherapy. to optimize the recovery of these patients. Objective: Improved breathing, functionality, exercise capacity and muscle strength in non-critical patients. Method: Prospective randomized clinical study where one group received motor and respiratory physiotherapy and the other group performed the same therapy associated with inspiratory muscle training. Results: The findings will be compared before and after the approach and will be presented in graphs and tables. Statistical tests will be used considering a significance level of 5%.

Read the detailed description

Prospective clinical study in patients with COVID-19 admitted to a non-critical unit of a tertiary hospital. They were randomized into a group that received motor and respiratory exercises and another group that received the same exercises associated with respiratory muscle training.

What participants receive

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

  • power breatheDevice

    respiratory muscle training 1 time a day with power breathe 3 sets of 10 repetitions

Study groups in NCT04603963
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
group controlNo interventionalternate exercises: in one day breathing exercises, active or with a load of large muscle groups (according to tolerance) with a maximum limit of 2 kg, sedation out of bed, walking. On another day aerobic exercise with cycle ergometer limited to 30 minutes.
intervention groupExperimentalHe received the same intervention as the control group, associating respiratory muscle training 1 time a day with power breathe 3 series of 10 repetitions (started with 30% of the Pimax value) with readjusted load every 7 days.
Receives: Device: power breathe

What is being measured

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

  1. impact on functionality

    respiratory muscle training appears to impact functionality

    Measured: 14 days

Model description
Only patients with respiratory muscle weakness that were considered as the maximum inspiratory pressure value (less than or equal to 60% of the predicted value) entered for randomization. Stratified randomization was performed in which the impaired chest tomography (absent, less than 50% or greater than 50%) was taken into account to be randomly allocated to the groups.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing power breathe in people with Covid19 and Respiratory Disease, run by Elaine Cristina Pereira <elaine.cpereira@einstein.br> at 1 site in Brazil.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Oct 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 Brazil. 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 was stopped early (reason given: There was a change in the institutional flow reducing the cases of covid 19). 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?

impact on functionality (time frame: 14 days). 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 28 Oct 2020.
