Trial Outcomes & Findings for Targeting Physical Health in Schizophrenia: Physical Activity Can Enhance Life (NCT NCT03757988)

NCT ID: NCT03757988

Last Updated: 2020-09-21

Results Overview

The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) will be used to measure cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) during which individuals will be asked to walk continuously for six minutes on a flat, indoor surface around cones (separated by 100 ft). The possible distance range is 400 meters to 650 meters. Higher scores reflect better outcomes (greater physical fitness).

Single Arm Experimental Walking Group
This is a pilot project with one single group that will be evaluated on the adherence to a walking protocol (Exercise Intervention- PACE-Life). Subjects will be walking two times a week under the supervision of the psychiatric clinic. In addition, subjects will be encouraged to add walking on their own on the days when subjects are not exercising under the supervision of the clinic. This pilot will be used to inform the final design of the subsequent randomized clinical trial that will be implemented following this pilot. Exercise Intervention- PACE-Life: Subjects will be provided with a Fitbit wristband and instructed how to use it.

Population: Includes participants with data at Baseline, Post Treatment, and Follow-Up

Mean difference in overall score from Baseline to Post Treatment (24 weeks) and to Follow-Up Visit (up to 28 weeks). The UCLA Loneliness scale is a 20 item scale. Answers are on a 4 point scale with options "I often feel this way," "I sometimes feel this way," "I rarely feel this way," and "I never feel this way." Possible scores range from 20 to 80. Higher scores reflect worse outcomes (greater feelings of loneliness).

Mean difference in the overall score from Baseline to Post Treatment (24 weeks) and to Follow-Up Visit (up to 28 weeks). The PANSS is a semi-structured interview using a 30-item scale to evaluate the presence, absence and severity of Positive, Negative and General Psychopathology symptoms of schizophrenia. All 30 items are rated on a 7-point scale (1 = absent; 7 = extreme). Possible scores range from 30 to 210. Higher scores reflect worse outcomes (i.e. greater symptoms of psychosis).

Mean difference in weighted average motivation score (relative autonomy index) from Baseline to Post Treatment (24 weeks) and to Follow-Up Visit (up to 28 weeks). The BREQ-2 is a 19 item self-report scale. Answers are on a 5 point Likert scale ranging from 0 to 4. Zero corresponds to "not true for me" and 4 corresponds to "very true for me." Possible scores range from -24 to +20. Each subscale is calculated from averages (items scored 0-4) and then a weight is applied. Higher scores reflect better outcomes (higher autonomous motivation to exercise).

The BPNE is an 11 item self-report scale. Answers are on a 5 point Likert scale ranging from "I don't agree at all" to "I completely agree." Possible scores for each subscale range from 1 to 5. Higher scores reflect better outcomes (i.e. more psychological needs being met through exercise).
