About this study

Official title: Comparison of Upper Extremity Functional Capacity, Respiratory Functions, Fatigue and Quality of Life in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Patients With and Without Cognitive Impairment

Within the scope of this study, COPD patients will be divided into two groups according to cognitive dysfunction.

Pulmonary function test, COPD assessment scale, Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale, 6 min pegboard ring test, grip strength measurement, Fatigue Impact Scale and St.George Respiratory Questionnaire will be applied to the groups.

Read the detailed description

Although the mechanism of cognitive dysfunction in COPD is not clear, the reasons focused on are; decreased oxygen use, high carbon dioxide levels, increased inflammation and oxidative stress, decreased physical activity, peripheral vascular diseases, atherosclerosis, high or low blood pressure, cerebral vasoconstriction, increased intracranial pressure, accompanying comorbidities, smoking and genetic predisposition, brain damage and exacerbations have been reported. Few studies have shown that cognitive dysfunction is associated with functional performance. There are no studies on the effect of cognitive function on upper extremity performance and mechanisms of action in COPD patients.

The aim of this study is to compare upper extremity functional capacities, respiratory functions, fatigue and quality of life in COPD patients with and without cognitive function impairment.

Within the scope of this study, COPD patients will be divided into two groups according to cognitive dysfunction.

Pulmonary function test, COPD assessment scale, Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale, 6 min pegboard ring test, grip strength measurement, Fatigue Impact Scale and St.George Respiratory Questionnaire will be applied to the groups.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COPD and Upper Extremity, run by Izmir Katip Celebi University.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

6 min. pegboard ring test (time frame: 6 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 30 Nov 2021.
