Trial Outcomes & Findings for NMES in HF Patients to Improve Functional Recovery Following Hospitalization (NCT NCT05338437)

NCT ID: NCT05338437

Last Updated: 2026-06-10

Results Overview

6 MW was developed to assess cardiopulmonary fitness in patients with lung and cardiac disease, and has been validated in heart failure patients. It assesses the distance that a patient can walk in 6 minutes time around a standard course.

Short Physical Performance Battery is composed of three tasks assessing balance, gait speed, and ability to stand from a chair. Units on a scale for each domain range from of 0-4 for a total score of 0 to 12, with a higher score indicating better physical function.

The Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living, commonly referred to as the Katz ADL, is the most appropriate instrument to assess functional status as a measurement of the client's ability to perform activities of daily living independently. Clinicians typically use the tool to detect problems in performing activities of daily living and to plan care accordingly. The Index ranks adequacy of performance in the six functions of bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, continence, and feeding. Clients are scored yes/no for independence in each of the six functions. A score of 6 indicates full function, 4 indicates moderate impairment, and 2 or less indicates severe functional impairment.

The Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale (IADL) is an appropriate instrument to assess independent living skills. These skills are considered more complex than the basic activities of daily living as measured by the Katz Index of ADLs. The instrument is most useful for identifying how a person is functioning at the present time, and to identify improvement or deterioration over time. There are eight domains of function measured with the Lawton IADL scale. Women are scored on all 8 areas of function; historically, for men, the areas of food preparation, housekeeping, laundering have been excluded. Since men regularly complete food preparation, housekeeping, and laundering tasks, they were scored in all 8 domains as well. Clients are scored according to their highest level of functioning in that category. A summary score ranges from 0 (low function, dependent) to 8 (high function, independent) for women and men.

Population: Due to our statistician retiring, we no longer have access to the computer program tied to the statistician. Without this program we are unable to transform responses into a 0-100 scale. An attempt was made to purchase the grading software, but cost was prohibitive, no funding was available to purchase the program. Unfortunately, there are no plans to acquire the license in the future as our institution has placed a hold on purchases due to budget cuts.

The Medical Outcomes Short Form 36 is a questionnaire that assesses self-reported health and physical functional status. There are 36 questions that reflect eight sub-domains of health included in this questionnaire. Scores for each domain represent weighted sums of the questions in each sub-domain. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight. This measure represents the total computed score across all sub-domains. Lower scores represent worse overall health, while higher scores represent better health.

Population: Due to our statistician retiring, we no longer have access to the computer program tied to the statistician. Without this program we are unable to transform responses into a 0-100 scale. An attempt was made to purchase the grading software, but cost was prohibitive, no funding was available to purchase the program. Unfortunately, there are no plans to acquire the license in the future as our institution has placed a hold on purchases due to budget cuts.

The following items are about activities you might do during a typical day. Does your health now limit you in these activities? If so, how much? Responses to Q3j. Bathing or dressing yourself

Timeframe: Hospital discharge (Within 1 day) and 4-weeks post-discharge

Population: Due to our statistician retiring, we no longer have access to the computer program tied to the statistician. Without this program we are unable to transform responses into a 0-100 scale. An attempt was made to purchase the grading software, but cost was prohibitive, no funding was available to purchase the program. Unfortunately, there are no plans to acquire the license in the future as our institution has placed a hold on purchases due to budget cuts.

These questions are about how you feel and how things have been with you during the past 4weeks. For each question, please give the one answer that comes closest to the way you have been feeling. How much of the time during the past 4weeks... Responses to Q9d. Have you felt calm and peaceful?

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Hospital discharge (Within 1 day) and 4-weeks post-discharge

Population: Due to our statistician retiring, we no longer have access to the computer program tied to the statistician. Without this program we are unable to transform responses into a 0-100 scale. An attempt was made to purchase the grading software, but cost was prohibitive, no funding was available to purchase the program. Unfortunately, there are no plans to acquire the license in the future as our institution has placed a hold on purchases due to budget cuts.

How TRUE or FALSE is each of the following statements for you: Responses to Q10d. My health is excellent
