What is being measured

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

  1. pulmonary function

    The pulmonary functions Spirometer measure can be expressed as Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) and Force Vital Capacity (FVC) .

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Trunk Control

    Trunk performance and coordination by static and dynamic sitting balance was measured by TIS.TIS comprises 17 items, measures dynamic and static sitting balance and trunk co-ordination. The TIS total score is 0-23 points, higher scores show better performance.

    It takes about 6 to 16 minutes in applying TIS

    Measured: 4weeks

  3. Functional Capacity

    6 MWT is used for functional capacity of participants, by walking for 6 minutes.

    Participant walk between the point marked, as numerous periods as can in 6 minutes.

    The 6-minute walk (6mw) test is a reliable and valid measure of for assessing functional capacity.

    Measured: 4weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Resistive Diaphragmatic breathing exercise, Diaphragmatic breathing exercise and Conventional stroke physiotherapy in people with Stroke, Ischemic, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Mar 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 Pakistan. 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?

pulmonary function (time frame: 4 weeks). The study lists 3 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 22 Mar 2024.
