NCT05540054

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) before bronchoscopic procedure in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Patients (COPD). Patients with a diagnosis of COPD, who are listed for a bronchoscopic procedure and referred to the pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) clinic, will be randomly divided into two groups. Standard PR exercise program will be applied to both groups. In addition to the standard program, IMT will be applied to one of the groups. The effect of IMT on exercise program gains will be examined.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Exercise capacity

    The 6-minute walking test will conduct in a 30-meter corridor in line with American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines. Participants will ask to walk as far as they can. Prior to and following the test, oxygen saturation, heart rate and Borg fatigue rating will measure, and the walking distance will record.

    Change from baseline at 2 months

  • Dyspnea perception

    Modified Medical Council Dyspnea score will rate the sensation of dyspnea as the person perceives it.The severity of dyspnea is rated on a scale of 0 to 4."0 point" means no dyspnea perception and "4point" means severe dyspnea perception.

    Change from baseline at 2 months

  • Respiratory muscle strength

    The mouth pressure measurement (maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure) will perform with the Pony Fx spirometry device. Patient will place a rubber mouthpiece with flanges, on the device, exhale/inhale slowly and completely, and then will try to breath in as hard as possible. The patient will allow to rest for about a minute and the maneuver will repeat. The aim is that the variability between measurements is less than 10 cm H2O. The maximum value will obtain.

    Change from baseline at 2 months

  • Clinical status follow-up after bronchoscopic procedure

    Complications and clinical status will be followed up for 1 year after the bronchoscopic procedure.

Other: Inspiratory muscle trainingOther: Standard pulmonary rehabilitation programme

Interventions

Respiratory muscle strengthening training will be given with a resistive threshold inspiratory muscle strengthening device.

Inspiratory muscle training group (PR+IMT)

The standard PR consisted of breathing exercises, peripheral muscle strengthening and self walking training.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Being between the ages of 18-75
  • Having a diagnosis of COPD diagnosed according to clinical diagnostic criteria according to -American Thoracic and European Respiratory Societies (ATS-ERS) and being a candidate patient for bronchoscopic lung volume reduction procedure
  • Presence of dyspnea on exertion
