About this study

Official title: Effects of Continuous and Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure During Exercise-induced Bronchoconstriction in Asthmatic Children: Controlled Clinical Trial, Randomized

Asthma is characterized by recurrent episodes of bronchospasm, bronchial hyperresponsiveness and chronic airway inflammation and pharmacological treatment for this condition is done with bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory.

Read the detailed description

Pharmacologic therapy has clinical efficacy in the control, but the patient often does not adhere adequately.

There is need for further research into non-pharmacological therapies for clinical asthma control and in turn the use of CPAP and bilevel pressure in the airways has shown beneficial effects on autonomic modulation and bronchial responsiveness leading to the hypothesis that these therapies also have effects on the BIE.The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of these non-pharmacological therapies in several variables and especially the BIE.

Being tested
muscle training, Continue Positive Airway Pressure, bilevel positive airway pressure

What is being measured

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

  1. Exhaled nitric oxide (part per billion)

    assess the degree of inflammation of the respiratory system using expired fraction of nitric oxide before and after the different protocols applied

    Measured: 5 minutes

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Heart Rate Variability

    Measured: 20 minutes

  2. manovacuometry

    Measured: 10 minutes

  3. Pulmonary function test

    Measured: 20 minutes

  4. bioelectrical impedance

    Measured: 10 minutes

  5. Bronchoconstriction induced by stress

    Measured: 30 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing muscle training, Continue Positive Airway Pressure and bilevel positive airway pressure in people with Asthma and Child, run by University of Nove de Julho at 1 site in Brazil.

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 7 inclusion and 5 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 23 Oct 2017. 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 Brazil. 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?

Exhaled nitric oxide (part per billion) (time frame: 5 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02939625, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 23 Oct 2017.
