About this study

Official title: Intermittent Pneumatic Compression in Inhalation Injury: Effects on Diaphragm Mobility and Pulmonary Function in Children Sufferers

inhalation injury is very common in infants, young, children. complications of this problems are low pulmonary functions and limited mobility of main inspiratory muscle.

Read the detailed description

inhalation injury patients (children, n = 40) will be included in intermittent pneumatic compression group (n = 20, this device, intermittent pneumatic compression, will be used a resistive inspiratory muscle training for diaphragm muscle and the 10-set training will be done five session per the week, for 12 weeks. besides this training, traditional physical therapy program will be handled). In other inhalation group, n =20, traditional physical therapy program will be handled only)

Being tested
intermittent pneumatic compression, physiotherapy, and walking, physiotherapy and walking

What participants receive

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

  • intermittent pneumatic compression, physiotherapy, and walkingOther

    intermittent pneumatic compression group (n = 20 inhalation injury children). in this children group, intermittent pneumatic compression will be used to resist diaphragm muscle during 10-set-training session which will be done five session per the week, for 12 weeks. besides this training, traditional physical therapy program will be handled). In other inhalation group, n =20, traditional physical therapy program will be handled only). Also, free walking for 30 minutes daily will be performed by children.

  • physiotherapy and walkingOther

    in this children group, n = 20, for 12 weeks, traditional physical therapy program (chest physical therapy, flexibility exercises, range of motion exercises) will be handled. Also, free walking for 30 minutes daily will be performed by children.

What is being measured

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

  1. forced vital capacity

    it is a pulmonary function test

    Measured: it will be measured after 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. forced expiatory volume at the first second of expiration

    it is a pulmonary function test

    Measured: it will be measured after 12 weeks

  2. right-side diaphragmatic excursion

    it will be assessed by ultrasonographic measurements

    Measured: it will be measured after 12 weeks

  3. left-side diaphragmatic excursion

    it will be assessed by ultrasonographic measurements

    Measured: it will be measured after 12 weeks

  4. upper chest expansion

    it will be assessed by tape

    Measured: it will be measured after12 weeks

  5. lower chest expansion

    it will be assessed by tape

    Measured: it will be measured after 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing intermittent pneumatic compression, physiotherapy, and walking and physiotherapy and walking in people with Inhalation Injury, 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?

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 23 Jun 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 Ali MA Ismail, lecturer (01005154209, ali.mohamed@pt.cu.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

forced vital capacity (time frame: it will be measured after 12 weeks). 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 23 Jun 2023.
