About this study

Official title: The Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Exercise Capacity, Physical Activity and Quality of Life in Pulmonary Hypertension

The aim of this study is to investigate the effective of inspiratory muscle training on respiratory function, exercise capacity, physical activity and quality of life.

Read the detailed description

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a condition which is seen with hemodynamic differences, pulmonary vascular resistance and right heart failure. Patients with pulmonary hypertension have, dyspnea, physical inactivity, reduced condition and respiratory muscle dysfunction. Aerobic exercise programs in patients with pulmonary hypertension are reported to result in improved exercise capacity and endurance of the patients, improvement in WHO functional class and quality of life, increased peak workload and increased peripheral muscle function. In recent years, few studies have investigated the efficacy of inspiratory muscle training in patients with PH.The aim of this study is to investigate the effective of inspiratory muscle training on respiratory function, exercise capacity, physical activity and quality of life.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing inspiratory muscle training in people with Pulmonary Hypertension, run by Istanbul University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 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 1 Mar 2018. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

mouth pressures (time frame: 10 minutes). 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 1 Mar 2018.
