About this study

Official title: The Effect of Disease Severity and Respiratory Functions on Muscle Oxygenation in Stable COPD Patients

The aim of this study is to examine the peripheral muscle oxygenation of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease at rest, during submaximal exercise and recovery, and to examine the effects of disease severity and respiratory functions on peripheral muscle oxygenations. In this study, the effect of disease severity and respiratory problems on peripheral muscle metabolism of patients with COPD will be explained.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT06041126
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group onePatients with COPD according to the combined COPD assessment Global Intervention (GOLD) guidelines, participants who are in groups A and B (mild-moderate) will be included in group 1.
Group twoCOPD patients according to the combined COPD assessment, according to the "Global Intervention (GOLD) guidelines", participants who are in groups C and D (severe-very severe) will be included in group 2.

What is being measured

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

  1. Muscle oxygenation

    The muscle oxygen monitor is a lightweight (42 g) and small (dimensions: 61 × 44 × 21

    Measured: one day

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale

    Medical Research Council (MRC) Dyspnea Scale will be used to assess the severity of dyspnea. The severity of dyspnea during activities of daily living is graded from 0 to 4 on the Medical Research Council (MRC) Dyspnea Scale.

    Measured: one day

  2. COPD Assessment Test (CAT)

    The COPD Assessment Test (CAT) is a new scoring system for COPD patients, which provides a simple method for assessing the impact of COPD on the patient's health. Range of CAT scores from 0-40.

    Measured: one day

  3. Charlson Comorbidity Index

    The Charlson Comorbidity Index was first developed in 1987 by Mary Charlson and colleagues as a weighted index to predict risk of death within 1 year of hospitalization for patients with specific comorbid conditions. Nineteen conditions were included in the index. The total score in the CCI is derived by summing the assigned weights of all comorbid conditions presented by the client. Higher scores indicate a more severe condition and consequently, a worse prognosis.

    Measured: one day

  4. Quadriceps muscle strength measurement

    Quadriceps muscle strength measurement of the patients will be evaluated with a manual muscle strength measuring device (Lafayette Instrument, USA) and recorded in kg/force. In muscle strength measurements, maximal voluntary isometric contraction (make test), which is reported to be more reliable in the literature and is frequently used, will be used. It will be repeated three times in both lower extremities with an interval of 30 seconds and the highest measurement will be recorded. For quadriceps muscle strength measurement, the patients will be seated on the treatment table with their legs hanging down and the thigh will be fixed by placing a rolled towel under the knee joint of the side to be evaluated. In this position, the patient will be asked to extend until the knee is locked, and the resistance will be given just above the ankle joint.

    Measured: one day

  5. Six-minute walking test

    It is a submaximal exercise capacity measurement test. The patient is asked to walk as briskly as possible on a flat surface of 30 meters for 6 minutes. In our study, the test will be carried out in a 30-meter corridor in accordance with the guidelines.

    Measured: one day

  6. Pulmonary Function Test

    Pulmonary function will be evaluated with the spirometry. Dynamic lung volume measurements will be made according to American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society criteria.

    Measured: one day

  7. Maximum Inspiratory Pressure / Maximum Expiratory Pressure Measurement

    Respiratory muscle strength of individuals will be measured using an electronic and portable oral pressure measurement device, according to ATS / ERS criteria, with COSMED brand Pony FX model portable spirometer (COSMED, Italy). It is one of the most commonly used and noninvasive methods for the evaluation of respiratory muscle strength. With this method, maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) are measured. MIP and MEP are intraoral pressures measured during maximal breathing against a valve that closes the airway during maximal inspiration and expiration.

    Measured: one day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Muscle Oxygenation, run by Bandırma Onyedi Eylül 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2025. 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?

Muscle oxygenation (time frame: one day). 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 13 Mar 2025.
