About this study

Although the progressive nature of pulmonary hypertension (PH), including the impairment of respiratory muscle function, studies have demonstrated beneficial effects of physical exercise on the functional limitations caused by the disease in this population, being an important collaborator to the conventional drug therapy.Respiratory muscle training (RMT) improves functional capacity and quality of life (QoL) in patients.A randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of this protocol on respiratory muscle strength and endurance, functional capacity. 18 subjects were allocated in 2 groups, group A was control group and group B was experimental group. Group A or Control group received deep breathing exercises. Group B received 30 minutes of IMT 6days weekly for 2 weeks by using a pressure threshold device. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in PAH. To evaluate effectiveness of IMT mouth pressure device ,functional capacity using 6 minute walking test (6MWT)health assessment via SF 36 questionnaire were used before and after training protocol.

Being tested
Deep Breathing Exercise, Inspiratory muscle Training

What participants receive

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

  • Deep Breathing ExerciseOther

    control groups received deep breathing exercise 6 days a week for two weeks. Deep breathing exercises includes diaphragmatic breathing and pursed lip breathing.

  • Inspiratory muscle TrainingOther

    Treatment group received inspiratory muscle training 20 minutes 6 days a week for two weeks.IMT was done by using pressure threshold device.

What is being measured

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

  1. 6-min walk test (6 MWT)

    The 6-min walk test (6 MWT) is a submaximal exercise test drive that includes measurement of distance walked throughout a period of 6 minutes. The 6-minute walk distance (6 MWD) stipulates a measure for collective global retort of multiple cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal structures involved in workout.The 6 MWT provides information about functional capacity, response to rehabilitation and prognosis slanting a broad range of chronic cardiopulmonary situations. Main strengths of the 6 MWT curb from its simplicity in conception and performing, low cost, ease of consistency, and acceptance by test individuals, including those who are deconditioned, aged, or fragile.

    Measured: 2nd week

  2. SF 36

    SF-36 is a setting of universal, clear, and easily instructed quality-of-life methods. These measures hang on upon patient self-reporting and are now widely utilized by trained care groups and by Medicare for everyday observing and assessment of care findings in mature patient role

    Measured: 2nd week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Deep Breathing Exercise and Inspiratory muscle Training in people with Inspiratory Muscle Training, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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.

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?

6-min walk test (6 MWT) (time frame: 2nd week). The study lists 2 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 NCT05063266, which also lists 5 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?
