About this study

Official title: Investigation of The Relationship Between Spinal Structure and Mobility and Respiratory Functions in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

In recent studies with musculoskeletal system disorders in chronic respiratory patients, it has been reported that postural control is affected in COPD patients.

The aim of this study to investigate relationship between spinal structure and mobility an severity of dyspnea in patients with COPD.

Read the detailed description

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable disease characterized by irreversible airway limitation. In recent studies with musculoskeletal system disorders in chronic respiratory patients, it has been reported that postural control is affected in COPD patients.It has been observed that balance systems, functional balance tests, posturography, posture assessment systems, force platform and inclinometer measurements are used in studies on postural control assessment in COPD patients.There are a limited number of studies in which devices that objectively present the degree of deviation in spinal curves are used in patients with COPD, and posture and lung volume and capacities are evaluated.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the changes in spine structure and mobility in COPD patients and to reveal their relationship with static and dynamic lung volumes and capacities.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
COPD PatientsThe respiratory functions of the participants will be measured in accordance with the ATS-ERS criteria. After measurement; forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC, total lung capacity (TLC), residual volume (RV), inspiratory capacity (IC), vital capacity (VC) parameters will be recorded. Spinal structure and mobility will be evaluated with the Spinal Mouse device in the sagittal and frontal planes in standing and sitting positions. For the sagittal plane, the measurements were first in the neutral, then in the maximum flexion and extension positions, for the frontal plane; neutral, right and left lateral flexions will be performed. Patients will be asked to mark the level of activity that causes dyspnea on the Medical Council Research Scale (MMRC) Dyspnea Score.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COPD and Postural; Defect, run by Izmir Katip Celebi 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 4 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 30 Aug 2021. 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?

Spinal Structure and Mobility (time frame: 15 minutes (single application)). 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 30 Aug 2021.
