Inspiratory Muscle Training Combined With General Exercise Training in COPD

NCT02392715 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 80

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a frequent disease, with increasing prevalence. Pulmonary rehabilitation through general exercise training (GET) is a corner stone of COPD care. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) as a stand-alone therapy decreases dyspnea and improves exercise capacity. Whether IMT combined with GET adds a supplementary benefit in the rehabilitation of COPD patients is however uncertain.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Inspiratory muscle training with Threshold by respironics

Inspiratory muscle training 15 minutes, 3x/weeks, 36 sessions Intensity: 15% of PiMax during the first week. Then increment of 5% each session until 60% of PiMax after the first month. The PiMax will be reassessed after 12 and 24 sessions in order to readjust the 60% of PiMax.

DEVICE

Sham Inspiratory muscle training

with Threshold by respironics 15 minutes, 3x/weeks, 36 sessions Intensity: 5 centimeters of water (cmH20)
