NCT ID: NCT06436482 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Research of Endobronchial Optical Coherence Tomography in Pre-COPD

EBOCTIPCOPD
Start date: March 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The pre-stage of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Pre-COPD) is challenging to diagnose. However, identifying Pre-COPD is a crucial step in the prevention and management of COPD. Endobronchial optical coherence tomography showed the value of diagnosis in Pre-COPD and COPD in previous researchs.

NCT ID: NCT06260826 Completed - Pulmonary Function Clinical Trials

CPAP on Oxygenation and Pulmonary Function in Elderly Patients After Major Open Abdominal Surgery

CPAP
Start date: December 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Postoperative continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can improve lung function. The risk of pulmonary complications is high after major abdominal surgery but may be reduced by prophylactic postoperative noninvasive ventilation using CPAP. This study compared the effects of auto-CPAP via a nasal mask (JPAP) and constant-CPAP via a facial mask (O2-Max Trio) on oxygenation and pulmonary function in elderly patients after major open abdominal surgery.

NCT ID: NCT06106646 Recruiting - Asthma Clinical Trials

Vitamin C to Decrease Effects of Smoking in Pregnancy on Infant Lung Function (VCSIP) Longer Term Follow Up

VCSIP
Start date: October 11, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The overall aims of this protocol are to determine whether prenatal supplementation with vitamin C to pregnant smokers can improve pulmonary function at 10 years of age in their offspring. This is an additional continuation of the Vitamin C to Decrease Effects of Smoking in Pregnancy on Infant Lung Function (VCSIP) trial, to follow the offspring through 10 years of age. The hypothesis for this protocol is an extension of the VCSIP trial that supplemental vitamin C in pregnant smokers can significantly improve their children's airway function tests. The investigators aim to demonstrate sustained improvement in airway/pulmonary function and trajectory through 10 years of age.

NCT ID: NCT06073275 Completed - Nutrition, Healthy Clinical Trials

Effects of Beetroot Juice Intake on Performance and Physiological Parameters

Start date: November 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study was a randomized, double-blind, crossover design for 3 weeks. In the first week, a researcher explained all the experimental procedures to the participants. In the following two weeks, the participants attended the Exercise Physiology laboratory to be assessed in 2 rowing ergometer sessions, separated from each other by a washout period of 7 days, under the same environmental conditions. In both strictly identical sessions, the participants randomly ingested beetroot juice (BRJ) or placebo (PL) 3 hours before the start of the tests.

NCT ID: NCT05933317 Recruiting - Pulmonary Function Clinical Trials

A Long-term Follow-up Study of Pulmonary Function Changes Using Phase-resolved Functional Lung MRI in Patients With COVID-19

Start date: January 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

So far, the number of COVID-19 infections worldwide has exceeded 700 million. Long-term damage to the lungs is a major sequela of COVID infection. Pulmonary function testing is an important means for the evaluation of lung damage. MRI examinations with free breathing and no contrast agent can prevent patients from suffering from ionizing radiation damage caused by multiple CT examinations.

NCT ID: NCT05692258 Recruiting - Acupuncture Clinical Trials

Acupuncture as an Adjunctive Therapy for Covid-19 Omicron Randomised Controlled Trial in Patients With Moderate/Severe Pneumonia

ZCFZZLXGBDFYHZ
Start date: January 6, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

At present, China is facing the first wave of COVID-19 epidemic after the liberalization. The infection rate has exceeded 50% in most areas, and even exceeded 80% in some cities. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) belongs to the beta genus of coronavirus and enters cells mainly by binding angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) to the spike protein on the envelope. The Omicron strain is the main epidemic strain at present. The transmission ability of Omicron strain is stronger than Delta strain, but the pathogenicity is weakened. At present, the published articles on the adjuvant treatment of COVID-19 with acupuncture are mostly theoretical discussions or case reports, and randomized controlled trials on the observation of curative effect are rare. The purpose of this study is to clarify the effectiveness of the adjuvant treatment of COVID-19 with acupuncture. Providing high-level research evidence for them.

NCT ID: NCT05617235 Completed - Post Operative Pain Clinical Trials

Kinesiology Taping After Thoracotomy

Taping
Start date: February 6, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Effective pain control after thoracotomy increases the patient's respiratory functions and related quality of life, reduces the length of hospital stay and the amount of analgesia use. Kinesiology taping has been used in sports injuries for many years and has been used in recent years to reduce pain after major surgery. This study was conducted to examine the effect of kinesiology taping on pain, respiratory function and respiratory muscle strength in patients who underwent thoracotomy.In this prospective randomized controlled experimental study, individuals between the ages of 20-75 who underwent thoracotomy with posterolateral thoracotomy and who agreed to participate in the study were included. Unlike the control group, kinesiology taping was applied to the study group for 7 days after surgery. Pain, respiratory functions, respiratory muscle strength, amount of analgesic drug use, and quality of life were evaluated preoperatively, postoperative day 0, before tape application, postoperative 1st day, postoperative 2nd day, postoperative 7th day and postoperative 1st month.

NCT ID: NCT05505695 Completed - Clinical trials for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

The Effect of Schroth Exercises on Pulmonary Function in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Start date: December 2, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of regular Schroth exercises on pulmonary functions in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients who use rigid braces and perform Schroth exercises regularly. Objective: The main purpose of this study, is to investigate the effects of Schroth exercises on pulmonary functions in adolescents who use rigid braces and perform Schroth exercises regularly. Methods: Twenty-four patients with AIS were included in the study. The patients who wore rigid braces and performed the SSE therapy constituted the "Brace&Exercise" (N=12), and the patients who wore full-time rigid braces but did not perform exercise constituted the "Brace Group" (N=12) of the study. The effects of Schroth exercises on pulmonary functions were measured at the beginning of treatment and the 8th week of the treatment. Keywords: Adolescent, idiopathic scoliosis, conservative treatment, brace, respiratory function, Schroth exercises.

Phase:
Study type: Observational

The aims of this study are: 1. To determine the correlation between pulmonary functions and physical fitness in children with β-thalassemia. 2. To differentiate between different types of B-thalassemia in both pulmonary functions and physical fitness
