About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Respiratory Muscle Strength, Diaphragmatic Thickness and Functional Exercise Capacity in Lobectomy Surgeries With Thoracotomy and VATS

The most commonly treatment for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is lobectomy. Different surgical interventions during lobectomy are thought to have different effects on respiratory functions and exercise capacities. The aim of this study was to evaluate respiratory muscle strength, functional exercise capacity, and diaphragmatic thickness in groups that underwent lobectomy with standard thoracotomy, muscle sparing thoracotomy, and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).

The most commonly treatment for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is lobectomy. Different surgical interventions during lobectomy are thought to have different effects on respiratory functions and exercise capacities. The aim of this study was to evaluate respiratory muscle strength, functional exercise capacity, and diaphragmatic thickness in groups that underwent lobectomy with standard thoracotomy, muscle sparing thoracotomy, and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). In this study we will evaluate respiratory muscle strength, functional exercise capacity, diaphragmatic thickness, postoperative pulmonary complications, pain, dyspnea, pulmonary function, functional status, anxiety and depression.

What is being measured

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

  1. Respiratory muscle strength (inspiration) change

    Respiratory muscle strength will measure by measuring mouth pressure and using maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) values. Preoperative and postoperative value differences will be calculated.

    Measured: The day before the operation.

  2. Respiratory muscle strength (inspiration) change

    Respiratory muscle strength will measure by measuring mouth pressure and using maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) values. Preoperative and postoperative value differences will be calculated.

    Measured: 15-20 days after discharge.

  3. Respiratory muscle strength (expiration) change

    Respiratory muscle strength will measure by measuring mouth pressure and using maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) values. Preoperative and postoperative value differences will be calculated.

    Measured: The day before the operation.

  4. Respiratory muscle strength (expiration) change

    Respiratory muscle strength will measure by measuring mouth pressure and using maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) values. Preoperative and postoperative value differences will be calculated.

    Measured: 15-20 days after discharge.

Secondary outcomes (20)
  1. Functional exercise capacity

    6-minute walk test (6MWT) will be used to evaluate functional exercise capacity.

    Measured: The day before the operation.

  2. Functional exercise capacity

    6-minute walk test (6MWT) will be used to evaluate functional exercise capacity.

  4. Diaphragmatic thickness

    Ultrasound will be used to measure diaphragmatic thickness.

    Measured: 15-20 days after discharge.

  5. Postoperative Pulmonary Complication

    Postoperative pulmonary complications will be evaulate by Melbourne Group Scale. If more than 4 parameters are positive, it will be considered as having postoperative pulmonary complication.

    Measured: Postoperative first-fifth days.

  6. Postoperative pain

    Visual anolog scala will be used to measure pain. Zero is considered as no pain an ten s considered as no maximal pain.

    Measured: The operative day after the operation.

  7. Postoperative pain

    Visual anolog scala will be used to measure pain. Zero is considered as no pain an ten s considered as no maximal pain.

    Measured: Postoperative first-fifth days.

  8. Postoperative pain

    Visual anolog scala will be used to measure pain. Zero is considered as no pain an ten s considered as no maximal pain.

    Measured: 15-20 days after discharge.

  9. Dyspnea

    Dyspnea will be evaulate by Modifiye Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC).

    Measured: The day before the operation.

  10. Dyspnea

    Dyspnea will be evaulate by Modifiye Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC).

    Measured: 15-20 days after discharge.

  11. Pulmonary function (FEV1)

    Pulmonary function will be evaulate by pulmonary function test. FEV1 will be measured in liter.

    Measured: The day before the operation.

  12. Pulmonary function (FEV1)

    Pulmonary function will be evaulate by pulmonary function test. FEV1 will be measured in liter.

    Measured: 15-20 days after discharge.

  13. Pulmonary function (FVC)

    Pulmonary function will be evaulate by pulmonary function test. FVC will be measured in liter.

    Measured: The day before the operation.

  14. Pulmonary function (FVC)

    Pulmonary function will be evaulate by pulmonary function test. FVC will be measured in liter.

    Measured: 15-20 days after discharge.

  15. Pulmonary function (FEF25-75)

    Pulmonary function will be evaulate by pulmonary function test. FEF25-75 will be measured in liter.

    Measured: The day before the operation.

  16. Pulmonary function (FEF25-75)

    Pulmonary function will be evaulate by pulmonary function test. FEF25-75 will be measured in liter.

    Measured: 15-20 days after discharge.

  17. Pulmonary function (PEF)

    Pulmonary function will be evaulate by pulmonary function test. PEF will be measured in liter.

    Measured: The day before the operation.

  18. Pulmonary function (PEF)

    Pulmonary function will be evaulate by pulmonary function test. PEF will be measured in liter.

    Measured: 15-20 days after discharge.

  19. Functional Status

    Karnofsky Performance Status Scale will be used to evaluate functional status. It will be used i to assess the preoperative condition.

    Measured: The day before the operation.

  20. Anxiety and Depression

    Anxiety and depression will be evaulate by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. 7 of the survey questions question depression and 7 of them question anxiety.

    Measured: Postoperative first-fifth days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery and Thoracic Surgery, run by Hacettepe 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 5 inclusion and 2 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 30 Dec 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 (inspiration) change (time frame: The day before the operation.). 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 30 Dec 2022.
