Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this research is to study the effect of training the inspiratory muscles (i.e. the muscle that allow you to breath-in) on exercise capacity, quality of life, and short-term clinical outcomes in patients post lung transplant.

Study Groups

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

12-weeks pulmonary rehabilitation training plus inspiratory muscle training

To assess maximum inspiratory pressure, you will be asked to breathe through a device called POWERBreathe Plus®. This device is commercially available and will be provided to you by the study. You will be asked to use this device twice per day, 5 days per week, for 12 weeks. Each session will require you to breathe into the device 30 times. You can use the device at home.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

POWERBreathe Plus®

Intervention Type DEVICE

Commercially available pressure-threshold device

Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation post lung transplant

Intervention Type OTHER

Pulmonary function, lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, inspiratory muscle strength, and diaphragm dimensions will be assessed in each patient. Each patient will also undergo a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), 6 minute walk test, and an inspiratory muscle endurance test

12-weeks pulmonary rehabilitation plus placebo (inactive) inspiratory muscle

To assess maximum inspiratory pressure with placebo, you will be asked to breathe through a device called POWERBreathe Plus®. This device is commercially available and will be provided to you by the study. You will be asked to use this device twice per day, 5 days per week, for 12 weeks. Each session will require you to breathe into the device 30 times. You can use the device at home. The resistance will be set to about 5% throughout the study.
