About this study

Official title: Exploring The Impact Of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Expiratory Muscle Thickness During Intensive Care Patients

the specific effect of IMT on expiratory muscle strength and abdominal wall thickness during weaning remains unclear. To address this significant research gap, the primary objective of our study was to evaluate the effect of IMT after extubation on expiratory muscle strength and abdominal muscle thickness in respiratory ICU patients. On the other hand the investigators established reference values for ultrasonographic measurements in healthy control subjects as a comparative arm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the ultrasonographic effects of IMT on the expiratory muscle thickness after extubation. The investigators believe that our study may contribute to related literature in this context and guide future research as a pioneer with its unique value.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the ultrasonographic effects of IMT on the expiratory muscle thickness after extubation. The investigators believe that our study may contribute to related literature in this context and guide future research as a pioneer with its unique value. In this single-blind randomized controlled study, 20 patients were divided into two groups: IMT and conventional physiotherapy(CP). In order to establish normative data for abdominal muscle thickness, ten healthy controls were included in the study. The CP group received CP and the IMT group received CP+IMT for five days following extubation. The thicknesses of the external oblique abdominal(EOA),internal oblique sbdominal(IOA), transversus abdominus (TRA) and rectus abdominis (RA) muscleswere evaluated The maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) were recorded.

What participants receive

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

  • conventional physiotherapy+ IMTOther

Conventional Physiotherapy to contain breathing and thoracal expansion exercises, bronchial hygiene techniques and gradual mobilization in 1 time a day. In this group addition to conventional physiotherapy inspiratory muscle training will be performed with the threshold-loaded inspiratory muscle training device, starting at 30% of the maximum inspiratory mouth pressure value, during 5 days, in 2 sessions, 4 sets per day, 6-8 breaths in each set and 2 minutes of rest between sets.

What is being measured

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

  1. Abdominal Muscle Thickness

    Eksternal Oblique, Internal Oblique, Transverses Abdominus and rectus abdominus Ultrasonografic mesasurements

    Measured: Change from baseline Maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure at 5th day]

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure

    Intraoral pressures measured at maximal respiration against a valve that closes the airway during maximal inspiration pressure and expiration. Maximal inspiration pressure is the highest pressure created to open closed alveoli at the residual volume level. In our study, respiratory muscle strength will be performed using a portable, electronic mouth pressure measuring with device. For the test, the applied person is given maximum expiration and at the end of this, the airway is closed with a valve and the person is asked to make maximum inspiration and continue it for 1-3 seconds. In the maximal expiration pressure measurement, after maximal inspiration, the person is asked to make a maximal expiration for 1-3 seconds against the closed airway. The best of the three measurements is selected. There should be no more than 10% or more than 10 cmH2O difference between the two best measured

    Measured: Change from baseline Maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure at 5th day]

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing conventional physiotherapy+ IMT and conventional physiotherapy in people with Intensive Care Unit Syndrome and Muscle Weakness, run by Istanbul Demiroglu Bilim 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 9 inclusion and 14 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 13 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 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?

Abdominal Muscle Thickness (time frame: Change from baseline Maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure at 5th day]). 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 13 Feb 2024.
