The Impact of Exercise on Hand Function, Daily Activities Performance &

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

A total of 240 consecutive SLE patients fulfilling the SLICC classification criteria was evaluated. Sixty two patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to the exercise group (n=32) or the control group (n=30).

Patients in the exercise group performed a program of strengthening, stretching and resistance upper limbs exercises, of 30 minutes duration daily, for 12 weeks. Performance of daily activities was evaluated with the DASH and HAQ questionnaires, grip and pinch strength with the Jamar dynamometer and pinch gauge tools respectively, dexterity with the Purdue pegboard test and the quality of life with the LUPUSQoL questionnaire at 0, 6, 12 (end of the exercise program) and 24 weeks for both groups. SLE activity and cumulative organ damage were evaluated with the SLE disease activity index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) and SLICC/ACR-DI, respectively.

Clinical Trial Description

A total of 240 consecutive SLE patients fulfilling the SLICC classification criteria was evaluated. Sixty two patients who met the inclusion criteria [age>18, upper limb arthralgias, and DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand) questionnaire score>10)] were randomly assigned to the exercise group (n=32) or the control group (n=30).

Patients in the exercise group performed a program of strengthening, stretching and resistance upper limbs exercises, of 30 minutes duration daily, for 12 weeks. Performance of daily activities was evaluated with the DASH and HAQ questionnaires, grip and pinch strength with the Jamar dynamometer and pinch gauge tools respectively, dexterity with the Purdue pegboard test and the quality of life with the LUPUSQoL questionnaire at 0, 6, 12 (end of the exercise program) and 24 weeks for both groups.

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.
