Trial summary

The STENDO process is a heart rate synchronized massage system initially validated for the treatment of lymphedema. It is a combination enveloping the lower limbs up to the abdomen. The massage system induces pressure from the ankles to the abdomen between each heartbeat. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Immediate Effects of STENDO on the Walking Abilities of Patients with COPD

The STENDO process is a heart rate synchronized massage system initially validated for the treatment of lymphedema. It is a combination enveloping the lower limbs up to the abdomen. The massage system induces pressure from the ankles to the abdomen between each heartbeat. This technique would also allow an improvement of endothelial function by a greater release of nitric oxide. Thus the capacity for physical exercise is potentially improved.

The use of STENDO has never been evaluated in COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) where physical capacity is impaired with, in particular, the presence of endothelial dysfunction. STENDO may improve walking performance. If these hypotheses are validated, the STENDO could be positioned as a complement to the exercise rehabilitation strategies offered to symptomatic COPD patients.

Being tested
STENDO session, A six-minute walking distance test, Near Infrared Spectroscopy, STENDO placebo

What participants receive

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

  • STENDO sessionDevice

    It is a combination enveloping the lower limbs up to the abdomen. The massage system induces pressure from the ankles to the abdomen between each heartbeat. The capacity for physical exercise is potentially improved.

    STENDO : 45 minutes, 2 legs and the pelvis, pression of 65mm Hg

  • A six-minute walking distance testOther

    Before and after STENDO session, the patient has to walk 6 minutes in a flat corridor (30m long)

  • Near Infrared SpectroscopyOther

    The goal is to measure the evolution of the oxygen consumption of the right leg during an effort on a bicycle at constant power for 5 minutes.

  • STENDO placeboDevice

    STENDO placebo : 45 minutes, on 2 legs and the pelvis, pression of 10 mmHg

What is being measured

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

  1. Variation in the 6-minute walk test distance after the performance of the STENDO/STENDO Placebo session compared to the value of the initial 6-minute walk test..

    Measured: Baseline to immediately after STENDO/STENDO Placebo procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing STENDO session, A six-minute walking distance test and Near Infrared Spectroscopy in people with COPD and Walking Performance, run by Elsan at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 17 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 5 Sep 2024. 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 France. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Variation in the 6-minute walk test distance after the performance of the STENDO/STENDO Placebo session compared to the value of the initial 6-minute walk test.. (time frame: Baseline to immediately after STENDO/STENDO Placebo procedure). 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 5 Sep 2024.
