Inspiratory Muscle Training in Patients With End-stage Renal Disease

January 10, 2017 updated by: ANA IRENE CARLOS DE MEDEIROS, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco

Effectiveness of Inspiratory Muscle Training in Respiratory Muscle Strength, Chest Wall Volume, Diaphragm Thickness and Mobility in Patients With End-stage Renal Disease: Randomized Clinical Trial

Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis may have reduced diffusion capacity, lung function and gas exchange due to mechanical and hemodynamic changes in the respiratory system, and decreased respiratory muscle strength resulting from uremic myopathy. The inspiratory muscle training (IMT) appears as an instrument to improve the inspiratory muscle strength, with positive effects on functional capacity and quality of life of kidney patients, however, the effects of IMT were not addressed in the specific variables of the respiratory system and to date there are no studies on the use of daily training in this population. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of daily inspiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, chest wall volume, diaphragm thickness and mobility of end-stage renal disease patients. Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial to be developed in Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy Laboratory of the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE) during the period from November 2015 to December 2016. The sample is composed of 24 individuals aged 18 and 65, having CKD, to perform hemodialysis for at least twelve months and provide inspiratory muscle weakness. Patients will be divided into two groups, the training group will be IMT with POWER-breathe®, load of 50% of MIP, duration of three sets of 30 inspirations, frequency of two sessions per day, 7 days a week for 8 weeks, since the sham group will be subjected to the same procedure (duration and frequency), but without load. Participants will be assessed before and after intervention through a global assessment form, questionnaire Kidney Disease Quality of Life Instrument Short Form - KDQOL-SF, diaphragmatic ultrasound, opto-electronic plethysmography, spirometry, manometer and six-minute walk test.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years to 61 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Inspiratory Muscle Training Group
Will use the breathing coach POWERbreathe® Classic Light. Participants will hold the workout three sets of 30 inspirations, 2 sessions per day, 7 days per week for 8 weeks. The training group will carry with IMT load of 50% of MIP. Weekly, patients attend the Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy Laboratory for evaluation of MIP and load adjustment, performing a training session in the presence of the therapist, while other sessions will be held by the participant at home and registered in the diary training. The training took place with the patient sitting in chair with a back, with knees and hips flexed to 90 °, the participant will use a nose clip and the device coupled to the nozzle mouth, will be instructed to diaphragmatic breathing pattern.

Sham Comparator: Sham Group
Will use the breathing coach POWERbreathe® Classic Light. Participants will hold the workout three sets of 30 inspirations, 2 sessions per day, 7 days per week for 8 weeks. The sham group will carry without load, but will be subjected to the same procedures in the experimental group (simulation of load adjustment in the Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy Laboratory) to ensure blinding of the study, other sessions will be held by the participant at home and registered in the diary training. The training took place with the patient sitting in chair with a back, with knees and hips flexed to 90 °, the participant will use a nose clip and the device coupled to the nozzle mouth, will be instructed to diaphragmatic breathing pattern.
