About this study

Official title: Comparison of Passive Stretching Versus Electrical Stimulation on Glucose Level, Functional Mobility and Perceived-fatigue in Elderly With Type II Diabetes

Sixty elderly diabetics (type II) their age ranged from 60-75 years had been divided into two equal groups; group (A) treated by 40-minute passive stretching exercises, while the group (B) treated by 30 minutes electrical stimulation three times per week for 12 weeks. Blood glucose level,Time up and go test (TUG) and Fatigue severity scale were done before and after 12 weeks of the study.Conclusion: Both electrical stimulation and passive stretching are effective to lowering blood glucose level and can be proposed for those people restricted to perform exercise.

Read the detailed description

Background: Physical exercise is one of the bases for controlling and treatment type 2 diabetes mellitus. But not all diabetic elderly is able to perform physical exercise because of their physical limitation condition. The approach for those people in this study is electrical stimulation and passive stretching. Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare the effect of passive stretching and electrical stimulation on blood glucose level, functional mobility and Perceived-Fatigue in diabetic elderly. Methods: Sixty elderly diabetics (type II) their age ranged from 60-75 years had been divided into two equal groups; group (A) treated by 40-minute passive stretching exercises, while the group (B) treated by 30 minutes electrical stimulation three times per week for 12 weeks. Blood glucose level,Time up and go test (TUG) and Fatigue severity scale were done before and after 12 weeks of the study.

What participants receive

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

  • passive stretching for group AOther

    Also called passive stretching exercises for group A

    A description of stretch is performed 3 times per week for 12 weeks. The stretches included (in the order they were applied): Seated knee flexor (bilateral); Seated knee flexor-hip adductor (bilateral); Seated shoulder lateral flexor (bilateral); Supine hip flexor- knee extensor (unilateral). Seated hip external rotators, extensor (unilateral); Seated shoulder extensors, adductors, retractors (unilateral). Supine knee flexor-plantar flexor (unilateral); Prone hip flexor (unilateral); Seated shoulder flexors, depressors (bilateral); Seated shoulder and elbow flexors (unilateral).

What is being measured

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

  1. an HbA1c .

    blood glucose levels glycated haemoglobien

    Measured: at baseline and after three month

  2. fasting blood glucose levels

    values were obtained for fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels/baseline, then 2 hours after the meal (postprandial).

    Measured: at baseline and after three month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. time of up and go test

    measure the time of the test

    Measured: at baseline and after three month

  2. score of fatigue severity scale

    severity from 1 to 7The strongly disagreement was related to number 1 while the strongly agreement was related to number 7. The scoring is completed by calculating the average answer to the questions (adding up all the answers and dividing by nine). Greater FSS scores mean greater perceived-fatigue.

    Measured: at baseline and after three month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing passive stretching for group A and electrical stimulation for group b in people with Type II Diabetes, run by Mona Mohamed Abdelkhalek at 2 sites 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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 Mona Abdelkhalek, assistance professor (002021024056108, mona.abdelkhalek@buc.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

an HbA1c . (time frame: at baseline and after three month). The study lists 2 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 7 Feb 2024.
