About this study

Official title: A Comparison Trial of Eight Weeks Versus Twelve Weeks of Exercise Program in Interstitial Lung Diseases.

We aimed to compare the functional results of the 8th week with the results of the 12th week of the exercise programs applied to the patients with ILD.

Read the detailed description

Exercise programs (EP) have been shown to be the effective approach for functional outcomes in interstitial lung diseases (ILD). In many studies, the duration of exercise programs varies between 8-12 weeks. However, the optimal duration of exercise program is still unknown.

We aimed to compare the results of the 8th week with the results of the 12th week of the PR programs applied to the patients with ILD.

A total of 14 patients with ILD referred to our PR unit [11 idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, 2 sarcoidosis (stage 3 and 4) and 1 nonspecific interstitial pneumonia] were included in the study. Pulmonary function test, arterial blood gas analysis, 6- minute walk test, mMRC dyspnea scale, quality of life questionnaires and hospital anxiety depression scale were performed before, at the 8th and 12th weeks after the exercise program applied to the patients twice a week.

What is being measured

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

  1. Six minute walk test

    It was performed in a 30-meter long corridor in accordance with American Thoracic Society criteria

    Measured: 6 minute

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. mMRC

    It was used for dyspnea that patients felt during their daily activities.

    Measured: 5 minutes

  2. Pulmonary Function Test

    It was used for assessment of lung functions

    Measured: 20 minutes

  3. SGRQ

    A disease-specific quality of life scale

    Measured: 30 minutes

  4. SF-36 Health Survey

    A health related quality of life scale

    Measured: 30 minutes

  5. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Inventory

    It was used for assessment of anxiety and depression

    Measured: 20 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise program in people with Interstitial Lung Disease, run by Izmir Katip Celebi University.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Six minute walk test (time frame: 6 minute). 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 5 Oct 2017.
