About this study

To study the effects of an 8-week combined inspiratory muscle training and exercise (resistance+aerobic) program on of a lung volume, inspiratory muscle strength (maximal inspiratory pressure, PImax) and cardiorespiratory fitness (maximal oxygen uptake, VO2peak) (primary outcomes)and dynamic muscle strength, body composition and quality of life (QoL) in children with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) (secondary outcomes).

Read the detailed description

The investigators hypothesized that the combined training program would significantly benefit most of the aforementioned variables (especially, primary outcomes).

What is being measured

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

  1. cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak)

    maximum oxygen uptake (VO2peak), which is the best indicator of aerobic fitness in humans and an independent mortality predictor in children with cystic fibrosis

    Measured: this outcome will be assessed up to 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. quality of life

    children's QoL with the Spanish Version (1.0) of the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R).

    Measured: this outcome will be assessed up to 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Other in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Universidad Europea de Madrid at 1 site in Spain.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 15 Oct 2012. 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 Spain. 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?

cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak) (time frame: this outcome will be assessed up to 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 15 Oct 2012.
