About this study

Official title: Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Clinical Predictors of Respiratory Muscle Strength and Lung Function in Burned Patients With Inhalation Injury

The current study aimed to investigate the effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on pulmonary functions (FEV1and FVC), and respiratory muscle strength in patients with inhalation injury, which may prove to be a promising intervention helping to improve exercise tolerance, relieve dyspnea and suggests an improvement in respiratory muscle function.

Read the detailed description

Forty male patients suffering from inhalation injury were been included in this study, Participants' ages ranged from 20-35 years old. Patients were selected from the burn department, Om El-Masreen hospital, and randomly assigned into two equal groups.

The exercise group received inspiratory muscle training in addition to routine chest physiotherapy in the form of (deep breathing, coughing, and early ambulation) three times per week for four weeks (group A). The Control group received only routine chest physiotherapy (group B). This study obtained ethical approval by the institutional review board of the Faculty of Physical Therapy - Cairo University, with reference number: P.T.REC/012/003431

What is being measured

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

  1. PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST

    Each patient's weight in kilograms, and height in meters were recorded and entered the machine. An individual sat in a chair and inhaled deeply before closing their mouth tightly around the tube. Several exercises were carried out until the patient comprehended and was comfortable with the instruction. The patient inhaled deeply and exhaled as quickly as possible into the spirometer(Morgan Trans Flow Test Vicatest p2 (Kent, ME 87 ED, England).

    Measured: 3 MONTHS

  2. Respiratory muscles Strength Measurement

    Maximal respiratory pressure and reflecting muscles strength were measured by a mouth pressure meter (Pony FX; COSMED, Rome, Italy) in the sitting position. The highest maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) in cmH2O, and maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) in cmH2O values in three or more attempts were chosen. Investigators calculated the predicted MEP and MIP values based on age, height, and weight

    Measured: 3 MONTHS

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise group in people with Inhalation Injury and Pulmonary Function, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 13 Jan 2022. 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 Egypt. 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 KHALED T AHMED, Asso Prof (00201115586016, khaled.takey@must.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST (time frame: 3 MONTHS). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05190497, 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 13 Jan 2022.
