NCT02125916

Brief Summary

The objective is to study the cognitive functions in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) and patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) compared to healthy controls. The cognitive functions are tested with and without oxygen therapy to clarify the effect of oxygen therapy. Driving simulations is used to test the cognitive functions. The hypothesis is that patients with chronic lung disease have decreased cognitive functions and that oxygen therapy will increase their cognitive functions.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Standard deviation from the centre of the road

    Measuring how far from the centre of the road the patient has been driving in the driving simulation

    During the 45 min. of driving in the simulator

  • Number of nil responses

    Measuring the number of times the patients doesn't react to the number "2" on the screen

    During the 45 min. of driving in the simulator

  • Response time

    Measuring the mean amount of response time from the number "2" appears on the screen until the patient reacts

    During the 45 min. of driving in the simulator

  • Number of off-road events per hour

    The number of times the car is off-road during the driving simulation

    During the 45 min. of driving in the simulator

Study Arms (4)

COLD without long term oxygen therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Driving in the simulator two times, one time with and one time without oxygen therapy

Other: oxygen therapy

COLD with long term oxygen therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 65 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • COLD with forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) \<50%, without long term oxygen therapy
  • COLD with FEV1 \<50%, with long term oxygen therapy
  • ILD with diffusion capacity of lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) \< 50%, without long term oxygen therapy

You may not qualify if:

  • comorbidity which decreases cognitive function
  • comorbidity which decreases concentration
  • physical comorbidity which makes it impossible to complete the test
