Brief Summary

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

Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are a complex group of diseases that cause significant morbidity and mortality, develop diffuse lung parenchyma and alveolar inflammation, as well as interstitial fibrosis, which refers to more than 200 diseases. Due to restrictive type ventilation disorder and impaired pulmonary gas exchange, pulmonary function has deteriorated in these patients and progressive shortness of breath, fatigue, cough and exercise intolerance are usually observed, which also affects the quality of life.

Detailed Description

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

As a result of the chronic inflammatory process of the disease, structural and mechanical pulmonary disorders develop, which are cited as the causes of deterioration in cardiopulmonary functions. In these patients, there is a decrease in static and dynamic lung volumes and carbon monoxide diffusion capacity. As a result of this mechanism, the level of physical activity decreases due to increased shortness of breath during activity. In ILD, there is a decrease in peripheral November muscle strength of both the upper extremities and lower extremities. November it was stated that the weakness of the skeletal muscles of the lower extremities was more pronounced than the skeletal muscles of the upper extremities due to disuse in these patients, and the muscle strength of the upper extremities did not decrease significantly. However, it has been reported that upper limb exercise capacity is worse than lower limb exercise capacity. Arterial hypoxemia is shown as the main reason for the decrease in exercise performance, and peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) decreased in these patients.

In healthy people, respiratory frequency, tidal volume (VT), minute ventilation and oxygen consumption increase during exercise. In interstitial lung patients, vital capacity decreases at rest, which leads to limitation of VT. Lung compliance decreases and respiratory workload increases. The respiratory workload, which increases even more during exercise, has a bad effect on ventricular function. This causes a lower oxygen pulse and pulse volume in patients during exercise than in healthy individuals.

The primary aim of the study: To compare the maximal exercise capacities and muscle oxygenation during cardiopulmonary exercise tests of upper and lower extremities in patients with interstitial lung disease.

The secondary aim of the study is to compare energy consumption and the perception of dyspnea and fatigue during tests in patients with interstitial lung disease.

The primary outcome will be upper and lower maximal exercise capacities (cardiopulmonary exercise tests) and muscle oxygenation during cardiopulmonary exercise tests (Near-infrared spectroscopy) device).

Secondary outcome will be energy consumption (multi sensor activity device), the perception of dyspnea (Modified Borg Scale (MBS)) and fatigue (MBS).

Study Groups

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

Lower Extremity Group

The first test is the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), which evaluates the maximal exercise capacity of the lower extremities and will be performed on a treadmill.

During the test, the muscle oxygen of the individuals will be measured with a near-infrared spectrometer, and their energy consumption will be measured with a multisensory physical activity monitor.

No interventions assigned to this group

Upper Extremity Group

In the second test, the maximal exercise capacity for the upper limb will again be evaluated by CPET and performed on the arm ergometer.

The second test will be conducted 48 hours after the lower extremity exercise test.

During the test in the second group, as in the first test, muscle oxygen will be measured with a near-infrared spectrometer, and energy expenditure with a multisensory physical activity monitor.

No interventions assigned to this group
