Trial summary

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of expiratory muscle training (EMT) and incentive spirometry (IS) in addition to conventional pulmonary rehabilitation after colorectal surgery. Twenty-four individuals (13 male) undergoing colorectal surgery were included. They were randomly divided into two groups. Read more about this study

About this study

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of expiratory muscle training (EMT) and incentive spirometry (IS) in addition to conventional pulmonary rehabilitation after colorectal surgery. Twenty-four individuals (13 male) undergoing colorectal surgery were included. They were randomly divided into two groups. In addition to conventional chest physiotherapy, group 1 was performed EMT (n=12), group 2 was performed deep breathing exercises with incentive spirometry (IS) in postoperative period. Respiratory muscle strength, functional capacity, levels of movement and independence, and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) were evaluated. Length of stay in hospital (LOS) was recorded.

What participants receive

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

  • expiratory muscle trainingOther

    participants performed expiratory muscle training according to their maximum expiratory pressure that measured earlier in addition to conventional chest physiotherapy

  • Insentive spirometryDevice

    participants performed deep breating exercise with insentive spirometry in additional to convantional chest physiotherapy

    Measured: 3-7 day

  3. 6 Minutes walk test

    Physical functional capacity

    Measured: 6-10 minutes

  4. 'Patient Mobility and Observer Mobility Scale

    Indipendence and mobility levels after surgery

    Measured: 2-3 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing expiratory muscle training and Insentive spirometry in people with Colorectal Cancer and Pulmonary Rehabilitation, run by Pamukkale 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 3 inclusion and 7 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 22 Mar 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?

Respiratory muscle strength (time frame: 2-3 minutes). 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?
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 22 Mar 2022.
