Equivalence Test of Two Different Inspiratory Muscle Training Protocols: a

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate if six weeks of high intensity Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) performed two times a week has the same effect as five times a week in hospitalized patients with first time Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). Design/ methods: A Randomised controlled trial (RCT) including 60 patients, with reduced Maximal Inspiration Pressure (MIP) will be recruited at two specialized SCI centers in Denmark. Primary outcome is MIP after six weeks of training. Secondary outcome will be reported on Rating Perceived Exertion (RPE), voice performance, Quality Of Life (QOL)and sleep quality. Furthermore, long term follow-up at 12 months after start of intervention will also be performed.

Clinical Trial Description

Background: SCI may result in various disabilities including both physical, cognitive, emotional and social domains. Motor function and function of the respiratory muscles are often decreased and may influence the patient's activities of daily activities and QOL. IMT is training to improve the strength and endurance of diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles. Various training protocols of IMT have shown efficient to increase lung function. Although, a recent meta-analysis suggest that high intensity training may be more efficient it is less clear at what weekly frequency IMT should be performed. Thus, the objective of this study is to investigate if six weeks of high intensity IMT performed two times a week has the same effect as five times a week in hospitalized patients with first time SCI. Design/ methods: A Randomised controlled trial (RCT) including 60 patients, with reduced MIP will be recruited at two specialized SCI centers in Denmark. Primary outcome is MIP after six weeks of training. Secondary outcome will be reported on end of treatment and long term follow-up (12 months after start of intervention) in RPE, voice performance, QOL and sleep quality. The two intervention arms will consist of one arm training two times a week and the other arm training five times a week. The training protocol in both arms will include five rounds of IMT with 12 repetitions at 60 % of MIP. MIP will be increased 10 % every week if tolerated by the patient until 80 % of MIP is reached. After six weeks patients are motivated to continue training by themself up to 12 months after start of intervention. ;

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.
