About this study

Official title: Manual Therapy Results on Pulmonary Function and Musculoskeletal Movement

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of different manual techniques included traditionally on respiratory physical therapy

Read the detailed description

Randomized controlled trial. Participants are classified in two groups and they are assessed using pulmonary functions parameters and thoracic and spinal movements.

There are two interventions: placebo and a manual technique. Participants will be assessed again at the end of the study.

What participants receive

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

  • Manual techniqueOther

    Also called Manual therapy.

    A manual technique is employed in the intervention group based on passive movement and stretching of the respiratory system.

    The manual technique includes:

    stretching of diaphragm. Mobilization. Potentiation of the respiratory muscles.

  • PlaceboOther

    Also called No intervention

What is being measured

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

  1. spirometry parameters

    Change from baseline to postintervention in spirometry parameters (Vital capacity, Forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), Tidal volume)using a spirometer as recommended by the American Thoracic Society.

    Measured: Baseline, 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. thoracic movement

    Changes from baseline to postintervention in thoracic movement, measured by tape measure in 3 thoracic levels.

    Measured: at baseline, 6 months

  2. Changes on Functionality scores

    Functional status questionnaire used before and after intervention to measure functionality scores change.

    Measured: baseline, 6 months

  3. Changes on cardiorespiratory capacity

    Changes on cardiorespiratory capacity measured by 6MWT (6 minutes walking test)at baseline and post intervention.

    Measured: baseline, 6 months

  4. spinal movement

    Changes from baseline to postintervention in spinal movement, measured by Range of motion with goniometer.

    Measured: at baseline, 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Manual technique in people with Respiratory Disease, run by Universidad de Granada 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 1 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Nov 2016. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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?

spirometry parameters (time frame: Baseline, 6 months). 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 3 Nov 2016.
