About this study

This study aims to investigate the effect of music as an environmental factor on respiratory muscle endurance in healthy individuals.

Read the detailed description

Respiratory muscles are as vital as the heart and can be susceptible to fatigue under certain conditions. Therefore, evaluation of the performance of respiratory muscles is critical in the event of impaired respiratory function. Respiratory muscle strength and respiratory muscle endurance tests are used for the evaluation of respiratory muscle functions. While measuring respiratory muscle strength provides information about the individual's pulmonary status, it cannot measure respiratory muscle strength. Respiratory muscle strength is the capacity of respiratory muscles to maintain a specific workload over time and is directly related to respiratory muscle fatigue.

Endurance of respiratory muscles can be evaluated by different methods such as sustained maximal ventilation, increased threshold load test, and fixed threshold load test, and there is no consensus on the best test.

Respiratory muscle fatigue in healthy individuals is known to complicate exercise performance. Fatigue of the respiratory muscles causes the accumulation of metabolites such as lactic acid in the muscles. In this case, the inspiratory respiratory muscle is activated in metaboreflexia; The firing frequency of afferent nerve fibers (type III and IV) increases. An increase in sympathetic stimulation causes general vasoconstriction. Exercise performance is adversely affected. This results in earlier termination of the exercise compared to the conditions where respiratory muscle fatigue is prevented. Therefore, it is stated that reducing or delaying metaboreflex may be an essential mechanism to improve exercise performance.

During general endurance exercise tests, it may be possible to change the environmental aspects (auditory stimuli, listen to motivational music, adjust the tempo with the metronome, give visual feedback, etc.) to suppress metaboreflexia and delay fatigue. It has been shown that listening to music during exercise reduces fatigue and reduces the perception of exercise in healthy individuals.

A possible explanation underlying the beneficial effects of sensory stimuli during exercise involves the integration of multiple physiological systems. In such cases, the attention and emotional effects of sensory stimuli can spread throughout the body by modulating pulmonary, cardiac, hormonal, and muscle systems. Although there are studies about the effects of music on healthy people during whole-body endurance exercises, the effect of music on respiratory muscle endurance was not investigated.

Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of music on respiratory muscle endurance test results.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Healty SubjectsHealthy Subjects Twenty-five healthy individuals will be included in the study. Physical properties of cases will be recorded. Respiratory functions and respiratory muscle strength will be evaluated. Physical activity will be assessed using the International Physical Activity Survey (IPAQ). Respiratory muscle endurance will be evaluated using an incremental workload test and fixed threshold load test. Tests will be repeated three times as motivational music, slow-paced music, and music. Heart rate, respiratory frequency, perceived exertion will be evaluated before and after the test.

What is being measured

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

  1. Respiratory muscle endurance test

    Primary Outcome Measure:

    1.Respiratory muscle endurance test In our study, the muscle endurance test at the fixed threshold load with 24-hour intervals, and the muscle endurance test at the increased threshold load will be performed. Test times will be calculated and calculated in seconds. The result values will be obtained by multiplying the test time and the pressure value corresponding to the time. In the fixed threshold load, the respiratory muscle endurance test will be performed in 60% of the MIP. For testing, the nose will be closed with a clip after the device is placed in the mouth. The respiratory muscle endurance test will be started with 20% of the MIP in the increased threshold load. The pressure will be increased to 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% respectively in two minutes intervals. The pressure change and the measurements made in this order shall be made without removing the device from the mouth. For testing, the nose will be closed with a clip after the device is placed.

    Measured: 1st 2 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy, run by Hacettepe 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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Feb 2020. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Caner Acartürk, MSc (+905365620203, acarturkcaner@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Respiratory muscle endurance test (time frame: 1st 2 days). 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 21 Feb 2020.
