Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training in Patients With Bronchiectasis (NCT NCT00952718)

NCT ID: NCT00952718

Last Updated: 2021-07-28

Results Overview

MEP was measured after maximal inspiration,while MIP was measured after maximal expiration with each subject seated and wearing a nose-clip. An experienced respiratory therapist strongly urged the subjects to make maximum inspiratory and expiratory efforts at or near residual and total lung capacity, respectively. Determinations were repeated until two technically satisfactory measurements were recorded, with the highest value used for calculations.

Inspiratory Muscle Training
With intervention. Inspiratory muscle training: A pressure threshold device (Threshold® IMT HS730, RESPIRONICS Inc, Cedar Grove, NJ, USA) was used for the inspiratory muscle training program. The individualized training program was started at an intensity of 30% MIP, which was increased by 2 cmH2O each week, but the maximal intensity did not exceed 50% of MIP. Patients were encouraged to perform IMT for 30 minutes per day, at least 5 days a week for 8 weeks.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline and 8 weeks

The 6-min walk test (6 MWT) is a submaximal exercise test that entails measurement of distance walked over a span of 6 minutes. The 6-minute walk distance (6 MWD) provides a measure for integrated global response of multiple cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal systems involved in exercise.
