About this study

Official title: Effect of Selective Manual Therapy Techniques in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Our study aiming for determining the combined effect of selective manual therapy techniques in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients

Read the detailed description

I will apply selective manual therapy techniques in form of mobilization techniques ,myofascial release techniques combined with traditional treatment to determine thier effect in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients

Being tested
Manual therapy and conventional physical therapy treatment
Medical subject headings
Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

What participants receive

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

  • Manual therapy and conventional physical therapy treatmentOther

    manual therapy (chest mobilization, diaphragmatic myofascial release, myofascial release for pectoralis minor, pectoralis major, scaleni ),pursed lip breathing, diaphragmatic breathing and active range of motion exercises of upper limbs

Study groups in NCT05781867
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
controlPlacebo comparator26patients will be included in this group and will receive conventional physiotherapy in form of pursed lip breathing, diaphragmatic breathing exercise and Active Range of Motion of both upper extremities
Receives: Other: Manual therapy and conventional physical therapy treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. chest expansion

    caliper will be used to assess chest expansion into centimeter

    Measured: pre-intervention and after 8 weeks of intervention

  2. (the forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume at first second (FEV1) and FEV1/FVC will be recorded. )

    spirometry used to measure

    Measured: pre-intervention

  3. cranio-vertebral angle and kyphotic angle in degrees

    kinovea software will be used to assess in degrees

    Measured: pre-intervention

  4. functional capacity.

    Six minute walk test will be used to assess functional capacity(meter/minutes)

    Measured: pre-intervention

  5. dyspnea score

    Modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC dyspnea scale) will be used to assess dyspnea

    Measured: pre-intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Manual therapy and conventional physical therapy treatment in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Cairo 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?

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?

chest expansion (time frame: pre-intervention and after 8 weeks of intervention). The study lists 5 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 9 Apr 2024.
