Surgical Repercussions in Respiratory System in Patients With

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate the surgical repercussions in patients with traumatic brachial plexus injury in the respiratory and motor systems, trunk biomechanics, functional capacity and quality of life.

Clinical Trial Description

Type of study will be a prospective cohort. The study will be performed at the Laboratory of Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy of the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE). The sample will be calculated from a pilot study to be previously performed. The pilot study should have 10 individuals, 5 patients in each of the two groups. A group of patients who has brachial plexus injury and a group of healthy individuals for the pairing by sex and age. Eligibility criteria: patients who will undergo surgical intervention (within one year of the trauma), of both sexes, between 20 and 45 years of age, sedentary (oriented and encouraged to perform the activities of daily living at home, however , outside of any rehabilitation program) and encouraged to refrain from using tobacco. Patients with pulmonary contusions, severe pneumopathies, patients with congestive heart failure (NYHA class III or IV), diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, hemodynamic instability (MAP <60 mmHg), multiple thorax fractures, amputation of one limb cognitive changes. Physiotherapeutic evaluations will be performed by a single physiotherapist trained in the preoperative one, three and six months after surgery for brachial plexus injury. The instruments of evaluation included are: optoelectronic plethysmography, spirometry, manovacuometry, diaphragmatic ultrasound, g-walk, upper limb dynamometry, pain questionnaires (Mcgill and DN4), upper limb functionality questionnaire (DASH) minutes and the quality of life questionnaire (Whoquol). Expected Results: The greatest impact should be to assist the patient in the prevention and physiotherapeutic treatment in relation to the possible sequels arising from the surgical process, besides fomenting the literature, expanding the knowledge about the subject and determining the applicability of the existing therapeutic resources, so that these are not used indiscriminately in daily practice. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
