Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: NA

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of inspiratory muscle training program in inspiratory muscle endurance, breathlessness, inspiratory muscle strength, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with interstitial lung disease. Patients are evaluated before the inspiratory muscle training and after 8 weeks of training.

Detailed Description

Inspiratory Muscle Training has been described as an effective intervention and contribute to the improvement of inspiratory muscle function and breathlessness in patients with chronic lung disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate, the effects of inspiratory muscle endurance, breathlessness, inspiratory muscle strength, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with interstitial lung disease. It is a quasi-experimental study. Patients with interstitial lung disease are recruited from interstitial disease ambulatory. In each session patients performs two times 30 breaths with a minute rest between them. The load is set according with 50% of actual PImax, the Borg score should be between 4 and 6, otherwise the load will decrease (if Borg more than 6) or increase (if Borg less than 4). New PImax is measured weekly and the new load is defined following the same protocol for 8 weeks. Patients are evaluated before the inspiratory muscle training and after 8 weeks of training.

Study Groups

Inspiratory muscle training group

Group intervention: home-based interval inspiratory muscle training during 8 weeks, two sessions with two sets of 30 breaths with one minute rest between them. Load set is determinated weekly, aiming 50% of actual PImax and according to Borg Score.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Inspiratory muscle training

Intervention Type: OTHER

Inspiratory muscle training will be performed using the tapered flow-resistive loading trainer (POWERbreathe®).
