Trial summary

People with PD have lower cardiopulmonary function than their age matched peers. This decline can further impair a person's ability to participate in exercise and daily activities. Furthermore, the limitations in cardiopulmonary function can have a severe impact on mortality. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Impact of a Customized Respiratory Muscle Training and Maintenance Program on Cardiopulmonary Function in People With Parkinson's Disease.

People with PD have lower cardiopulmonary function than their age matched peers. This decline can further impair a person's ability to participate in exercise and daily activities.

Furthermore, the limitations in cardiopulmonary function can have a severe impact on mortality. There is evidence indicating the positive changes IMT can have on cardiopulmonary function in people with PD. Through intensive daily exercise people with PD have shown improvements in maximum inspiratory pressure and maximum expiratory pressure though detraining does occur when the intervention is not continued. The purpose of the proposed study is to determine if improvements in expiratory muscle strength can be maintained with a maintenance inspiratory muscle training program. The hypothesis is that there will be a significant change from baseline at the three and six month follow ups.

Read the detailed description

Testers will complete the following outcome measures at the pretest: height, weight, maximum inspiratory pressure, maximum expiratory pressure, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, six-minute walk test, and Fatigue Impact Scale in person.17,18 Participants, and caregivers if necessary, will be educated on how to complete the intensive IMT program. The dosage will be IMT 3 times/day for 20 repetitions each with resistance set at 30% of baseline maximum for 12 weeks. This training will occur at home.

Participants will record daily their completion of the intensive IMT. Investigators will contact participants weekly for follow-up of compliance and questions. Participants will be contacted either through email, text, or phone call, depending on their preference.

After 12 weeks of intensive IMT training, the investigators will complete the first posttest which will include the following assessments: maximum inspiratory pressure, maximum expiratory pressure, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, six-minute walk test, and fatiguability scale in person.

Participants, and caregivers if necessary, will be educated on the maintenance IMT program. The dosage for the maintenance program will be 33% of their intensive IMT program, which will result in IMT 1 time/day for 20 repetitions with resistance set at 30% of baseline maximum at the first posttest. The participants will continue the maintenance program for 12 more weeks.

Participants will record daily their completion of the maintenance IMT program. Investigators will contact participants weekly for follow-up of compliance and questions. Participants will be contacted either through email, text, or phone call, depending on their preference.

After the 12 weeks of maintenance IMT, the investigators will complete the second posttest which will include the following assessments: maximum inspiratory pressure, maximum expiratory pressure, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, six-minute walk test, and fatiguability scale in person.

The participants will receive a $50 Amazon gift card upon the completion of second posttest. The participants will also be allowed to keep their IMT devices for continued use.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • inspiratory muscle trainingOther

    Participants will complete inspiratory muscle training daily in their homes for 12 weeks. The dosage will depend on their initial maximum pressure. At the end of the 12 week intensive period, participants will reduce the inspiratory resistance by a third and continue a maintenance training for an additional 12 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. maximum expiratory pressure

    measure of the maximum expiratory cardiopulmonary pressure

    Measured: 5 minutes

  2. maximum inspiratory pressure

    measure of the maximum inspiratory cardiopulmonary pressure

    Measured: 5 minutes

  3. 6 minute walk test

    distance walked in 6 minutes

    Measured: 8 minutes

  4. Fatigue Impact Scale

    measure of a person's self report fatigue, ranges from 0-36 and higher score indicates greater impact of fatigue

    Measured: 10 minutes

  5. heart rate

    heart beats per minutes

    Measured: 1 minute

  6. respiratory rate

    breaths per minute

    Measured: 1 minute

  7. blood pressure

    measure of rest blood pressure

    Measured: 1 minute

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing inspiratory muscle training in people with Parkinson Disease, run by University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences at 1 site in United States.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 May 2023. 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 United States. 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 Kristen Barta, DPT, PhD (737-202-3341, kbarta@usa.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

maximum expiratory pressure (time frame: 5 minutes). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 May 2023.
