About this study
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the relationship between handgrip strength and air trapping in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The main question it aims to answer is:
- Is handgrip strength correlated with air trapping in COPD patients? Participants will perform handgrip strength test and lung volume measurement.
Read the detailed description
This is a cross-sectional study in COPD patients. COPD patients aged 40 years or older were included. Handgrip strength test and lung volume measurement will be tested in each patient. Handgrip strength will be measured using a hand dynamometer. Lung volume will be assessed using a body plethysmograph.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Handgrip strengthDiagnostic test
Handgrip strength will be measured by 3 efforts.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| COPD | COPD patients aged 40 years or older with a postbronchodilator ratio of forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) to forced vital capacity (FVC) <0.7. Receives: Diagnostic Test: Handgrip strength |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Correlation between handgrip strength and air trapping in COPD patients
This correlation will be reported as correlation coefficient (R).
Measured: At day 1 of the study
Secondary outcomes (1)
The best cutoff value of handgrip strength for predicting air trapping in COPD patients
The best cutoff value will be determined by the area under the Receiver Operator Characteristic curve (ROC).
Measured: At day 1 of the study

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Thammasat University at 1 site in Thailand.
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 2 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 20 Jan 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 Thailand. 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?
Correlation between handgrip strength and air trapping in COPD patients (time frame: At day 1 of the study). 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 20 Jan 2025.
