Clinical Trial Summary

The benefits of inspiratory muscle training(IMT) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) were reported.But in severe COPD patients, benefit from IMT may be limited.There is need for further research in new and complementary modalities to improve IMT efficiency in severe COPD patients.Manual therapy(MT) additional over IMT may be such a new approach that has not yet been investigated in COPD. Aims: To investigate effects of MT additional over IMT on functional capacity,respiratory muscle strength,pulmonary function,dyspnea, fatigue and quality of life in severe COPD patients. Methods: It was a prospective single-blind randomized trial. 40 patients with COPD in Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease(GOLD) stage III-IV were included. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either MT additional over IMT at 40% of maximal inspiratory pressure(MIP)(n= 20) or only IMT(n= 20) for 12 weeks. MT group received MT during 12 weeks for 40 minutes additional to IMT. Pulmonary function using spirometry, respiratory muscle strength using mouth pressure device, functional capacity using six minute walk test, dyspnea using Modified Medical Research Council(MMRC) dyspnea scale, fatigue using fatigue severity scale and quality of life using St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire(SGRQ) were evaluated.
