NCT ID: NCT03240640 Completed - Copd Clinical Trials

Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Shortness of Breath (Dyspnea) and Postural Control in Patients With COPD

Start date: February 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Shortness of breath (dyspnea) is an important symptom during physical exertion in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is related to respiratory muscle weakness. Dyspnea is a multidimensional sensation. The sensory perceptual domain (perceived dyspnea intensity) has been study extensively. The perception of respiratory distress (unpleasantness of dyspnea) has not received as much attention. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been shown to improve inspiratory muscle function and reduce dyspnea intensity. Balance impairments increasing the risk of falling is another recognized problem in patients with COPD. Postural balance has been shown to be especially impaired in patients with COPD who have pronounced respiratory muscle weakness. Improvements in respiratory muscle function might improve balance control in patients. Respiratory Muscle Metaboreflex is known as respiratory muscle work during exercise reflexively induces sympathetically mediated vasoconstrictor activity, there by compromising blood flow and oxygen delivery to active limb and respiratory muscles. Eight weeks of controlled IMT is hypothesized to reduce both intensity as well as unpleasntness domain of dyspnea perception, improve postural control and improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to limb muscles in patients with COPD who have pronounced respiratory muscle weakness.

NCT ID: NCT01903772 Completed - COPD Clinical Trials

Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

IMTCO
Start date: April 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The additional effect of inspiratory muscle training as an adjunct to a general exercise training program in patients with COPD with inspiratory muscle weakness will be studied. The main hypothesis is that inspiratory muscle training combined with an exercise training program improves functional exercise capacity more than an exercise training program without the addition of an inspiratory muscle training program.

NCT ID: NCT01397396 Completed - COPD Clinical Trials

Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training in COPD

IMTCO
Start date: February 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The additional effect of inspiratory muscle training as an adjunct to a general exercise training program in patients with COPD with inspiratory muscle weakness will be studied. The main hypothesis is that inspiratory muscle training combined with an exercise training program improves functional exercise capacity more than an exercise training program without the addition of an inspiratory muscle training program.

NCT ID: NCT00815178 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Complications

Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients With Inspiratory Muscle Weakness

Start date: September 2006
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to determine if inspiratory muscle training improves inspiratory muscle strength of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with inspiratory muscle weakness.
