What is being measured

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

  1. pectoralis muscle strength

    pectoralis muscle strength will be evaluated with hand held dynamometers according to muscle test technique

    Measured: 15 minute

  2. serratus anterior muscle strength

    Serratus anterior muscle strength will be evaluated with hand held dynamometers according to muscle test technique

    Measured: 15 minutes

  3. sternocleidomasteoideus muscle strength

    sternocleidomasteoideus muscle strength will be evaluated with hand held dynamometers according to muscle test technique

    Measured: 15 minutes

  4. Respiratory mouth pressure

    Respiratory mouth pressure will be measured to determine maximally inspiratory pressure and maximally expiratory pressure according to ATS/ERS guidelines.

    Measured: 15 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT)

    Six minute walk test will be performed to evalute functionally exercise capacity according to ATS/ERS guidelines

    Measured: 30 minutes

  2. Dyspnea assessment

    London Chest Activity of Daily Living Scale will be used to sensation of dyspnea during activity of daily living.The scale consists of four domains: self-care (four items), domestic (six items), physical (two items) and leisure (three items). In total, the scale consisting of 15 items scored of 0 to 5. 0 means that "I wouldn't do anyway" and 5 means that "Someone else does it for me". Higher values indicate greater limitation due to the dyspnea

    Measured: 20 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Artery Hypertension, run by Giresun 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 5 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 1 Jun 2022. 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?

pectoralis muscle strength (time frame: 15 minute). The study lists 4 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 NCT05056532, 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 1 Jun 2022.
