About this study

The use of masks is a necessity due to the current pandemic conditions. The aim of the study is to examine the effects of the use of masks during effort on dyspnea and fatigue with hemodynamic parameters.

Read the detailed description

The use of masks is a necessity due to the current pandemic conditions.There are studies on many parameters such as the effect of mask use on saturation (sp02), heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP). To determine whether there is a change in the performance of individuals in the masked and unmasked exercise test during exertion due to the scarcity of masked and unmasked maximal exercise tests and the insufficient measurement of the degree of fatigue felt, and to determine whether there is a change in the performance of individuals with and without mask, and to determine the hemodynamic responses in the body together with dyspnea and felt fatigue. This study will be conducted in order to examine the effect on

What is being measured

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

  1. Measurement of blood pressure changes due to mask use

    Blood pressure reading with sphygmomanometer.

    Measured: The period in which each participant is evaluated by taking the outcome criterion is 30-60 minutes.

  2. Evaluation of dyspnea score

    Dyspnea score was evaluated with the Modified Borg Scale. The Modified Borg Scale is a 0 to 10 numerical score used to measure dyspnea. 0 indicates minimum dyspnea and 10 indicates maximum dyspnea.

    Measured: The period in which each participant is evaluated by taking the outcome criterion is 30-60 minutes.

  3. Evaluation of the degree of perceived fatigue

    The degree of perceived fatigue was evaluated with the Modified Borg Scale. The Modified Borg Scale was used to assess perceived difficulty. The Modified Borg Scale is a numerical score from 0 to 10. 0 means minimum difficulty and 10 means maximum difficulty.

    Measured: The period in which each participant is evaluated by taking the outcome criterion is 30-60 minutes.

  4. Measurement of oxygen saturation and heart rate changes due to mask use

    Oxygen saturation and heart rate were recorded with a pulseoximetry device.

    Measured: The period in which each participant is evaluated by taking the outcome criterion is 30-60 minutes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Treadmilll and mask in people with COVID-19 and Heart Rate, run by Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi 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 10 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 30 Aug 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 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?

Measurement of blood pressure changes due to mask use (time frame: The period in which each participant is evaluated by taking the outcome criterion is 30-60 minutes.). The study lists 4 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 30 Aug 2022.
