Trial summary

Evaluation of respiratory function is considered a crucial component in the assessment of patients with a wide range of respiratory diseases. Spirometry is considered a common method of measuring pulmonary function. Recently, Transthoracic ultrasound yields important diagnostic information within minutes. Read more about this study

About this study

Evaluation of respiratory function is considered a crucial component in the assessment of patients with a wide range of respiratory diseases. Spirometry is considered a common method of measuring pulmonary function. Recently, Transthoracic ultrasound yields important diagnostic information within minutes. Respiratory muscle ultrasound is used to evaluate the anatomy and function of the respiratory system.

Being tested
transthoracic ultrasonography, spirometry
Medical subject headings
Respiratory Tract Diseases

What participants receive

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

  • transthoracic ultrasonographyRadiation

    1. lung ultrasonography
    2. Diaphragm and respiratory muscle ultrasound
    3. inferior vena cava ultrasound
  • spirometryDevice

    pulmonary function test : FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC will be measured.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
normal peoplepeople who don't complain of respiratory diseases will be examined by chest ultrasound and pulmonary function test.
Receives: Radiation: transthoracic ultrasonography; Device: spirometry
obstructive respiratory diseasesthe patients who are diagnosed with either COPD or asthma.
Receives: Radiation: transthoracic ultrasonography; Device: spirometry
restrictive respiratory diseasespatient with either ILD
Receives: Radiation: transthoracic ultrasonography; Device: spirometry

What is being measured

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

  1. investigate the correlation between transthoracic ultrasonography findings and their relation to spirometric indices in patients with different respiratory diseases.

    we will study the degree of change in lung ultrasound, diaphragm, and respiratory muscles ultrasound, inferior vena cava ultrasound in obstructive and restrictive respiratory diseases .also, we find their correlation with spirometric indices in these diseases.

    Measured: 6months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Ultrasound and Spirometry, run by Sohag University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 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 12 Apr 2023. 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact esraa F Abdelaal, assistant lecturer (01090490019, esraa.faragallah@.med.sohag.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

investigate the correlation between transthoracic ultrasonography findings and their relation to spirometric indices in patients with different respiratory diseases. (time frame: 6months). 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 NCT05175313, 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.
