Impact of Muscle Afferent Feedback During Exercise in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

27. januar 2012 opdateret af: Philippe Gagnon, PhD Candidate, Laval University

Impact of Somatosensory Feedback on Peripheral Muscle Fatigue and Exercise Tolerance in Patients With COPD

Recently, direct evidences point to the contributing role of peripheral muscle fatigue in exercise tolerance among patients with COPD. However, the physiological mechanisms by which peripheral muscle fatigue impairs exercise tolerance are still unknown, as factors regulating peripheral muscle fatigue in COPD may be complex. One possible link between limb muscle fatigue and exercise intolerance could be enhanced afferent signals from the active limb muscles to the central command, thereby limiting central motor output and eventually leading to exercise termination.

A direct method to investigate the regulation of peripheral muscle fatigue during exercise in patients with COPD is the blockade of peripheral neural afferents via lumbar anesthesia. Consequently, investigating the interplay between the peripheral muscular component and the central motor command during self-paced exercise could shed light on the regulation of peripheral muscle fatigue in COPD and its implication in exercise intolerance.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

The aim of the study is to characterize the role of peripheral muscle afferents on the development of muscle fatigue, cardiorespiratory response and exercise tolerance to constant-workrate endurance cycling exercise in patients with COPD.

In a double-blind randomized design, patients with GOLD stage II-III COPD will be recruited and will complete a constant-workrate cycling test following either the injection of a placebo [NaCl, interspinous L2-L3] or an opioid [Fentanyl 25 µg, intrathecal L2-L3] inhibiting central feedback of peripheral muscles sensory afferents. Quadriceps force (TwQ) will be measured by magnetic stimulation of the femoral nerve and central chemoreceptors response will be assessed by CO2 rebreathing, both performed before and after the injection. Finally, TwQ will also be measured after the endurance cycling test to assess the magnitude of quadriceps fatigue induced by symptom-limited exercise.

Tidsramme
Endurance time
Tidsramme: 60-min post-anesthesia - From the start to the end of the constant-workload cycling test (limited by symptoms of the patients)
Exercise tolerance is referred as the endurance time (sec) during constant-workrate cycling test at 80 % of the predetermined maximal workload in every conditions (placebo and fentanyl)
60-min post-anesthesia - From the start to the end of the constant-workload cycling test (limited by symptoms of the patients)

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Ventilatory response
Tidsramme: 60-min post-anesthesia-From the start to the end of the constant-workload cycling test (limited by symptoms of the patients)
The ventilatory response (Ventilation, L/min) will be monitored continuously during the cycling test and will be compared between the two conditions (placebo vs. fentanyl)
60-min post-anesthesia-From the start to the end of the constant-workload cycling test (limited by symptoms of the patients)
Quadriceps muscle fatigue
Tidsramme: 15-min after the end of constant-workload cycling test
The quadriceps muscle fatigue will be monitored before and after the cycling test to quantify the extent of muscle fatigue produced by the cycling test. This will be done by magnetic stimulation of the femoral nerve and maximal voluntary contraction. Also, non-invasive surface electromyography (EMG) of the quadriceps will help to better characterize muscle fatigue.

Dynamic hyperinflation
Tidsramme: 60-min post-anesthesia-From the start to the end of the constant-workload cycling test (limited by symptoms of the patients) - Every 2-min during exercise
Dynamic hyperinflation will be monitored periodically every 2-min during the cycling test by manoeuvres of inspiratory capacity and will be compared between the two conditions (placebo vs. fentanyl)
60-min post-anesthesia-From the start to the end of the constant-workload cycling test (limited by symptoms of the patients) - Every 2-min during exercise

Leg fatigue and dyspnea perception (Borg scale scores) will be monitored periodically every 2-min during the cycling test and will be compared between the two conditions (placebo vs. fentanyl)
