Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

On the following tests, there would be a greater increase in the functionality of COPD patients who underwent combined therapy than in those who only exercised: a set of activities of daily living (ADLs), the six-minute walk test (6MWT), an incremental symptom-limited cardiopulmonary test (CPT), and the physical functioning scale of the Short-Form 36 quality of life questionnaire (SF-36).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Impact of aerobic exercise plus noninvasive ventilation (NIV) on the functionality of patients with COPD. Thirty patients (70.5 - 8.5 years) with COPD (forced expiratory volume in the first second 48.5 - 15.4% of predicted) were randomized into either a physical training group involving aerobic treadmill exercise (PTG, n=12) or an exercise plus bilevel ventilation group (PTGNIV, n=11) with sessions three times a week for six weeks.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Physical Training Group

This group performed aerobic physical training in treadmill.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

physical training

Intervention Type OTHER

For both groups, the approximately hour-long sessions occurred three times a week on alternate days for six consecutive weeks (18 sessions). Each session began with five minutes of stretching that included the cervical muscles and the upper and lower limbs, which was followed by five minutes of warm-up on a treadmill at 2Km/h and 30 minutes of aerobic physical training at a constant 3% incline.

NIV Trained

This group performed aerobic physical training associated with ventilation in the bilevel modality (BiPAP®), using a nasal mask as an interface.

On evaluation day, the levels of inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) (between 10 and 15cmH2O) and expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) (between 4 and 6cmH2O) were defined, varying according to the comfort level of each patient.
