Clinical Trial Summary

Title: Acute effects of waterpipe smoking (WPS) on cognitive measures and cardiorespiratory parameters

Objectives: To evaluate the acute effect of one cession of water pipe smoking on:

1. executive functions which evaluated by cognitive tests administered included the digit span subtest Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)-version III hebrew battery, and the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT)

2. Cardiorespiratory parameters included vital signs, spirometry parameters and lung clearance index (LCI) value

3. serum carboxyhemoglobin, nicotine, and cytokines

Design: Prospective study evaluating these parameters before and after 30 minutes of water pipe smoking (WPS).

Sample size: 55 participants (35 study group, 20 control group) Participant selection: Adults subjects who regularly smoke water pipe. Intervention: Each subject will undergo evaluation including cognitive tests, Cardiorespiratory parameters, carboxy- hemoglobin levels, nicotine levels, serum cytokines levels.

All measurements will be evaluated before and after one cession of 30 minutes water pipe smoking


Clinical Trial Description

The effect of repeated testing 30 minutes apart without water pipe smoking (WPS) was evaluated in a group of 20 volunteers (age and sex matched).

Primary outcome parameter: Change in cognitive tests scores Secondary outcome parameter:Change in Cardiorespiratory parameters included vital signs, spirometry parameters and lung clearance index (LCI) value, serum carboxyhemoglobin, nicotine, and cytokines, before and after water pipe smoking ;
