An interventional study of energy conservation technique and control session in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, sponsored by Groupe Hospitalier du Havre. Completed at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 35 Years to 85 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-04-03.
Sponsored by Groupe Hospitalier du Havre · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by non-reversible bronchial obstruction associated with systemic disorders and comorbid factors. Dynamic hyperinflation during an exercise increase dyspnea and can reduce exercise capacity. Stair climbing is associated with prolonged dynamic hyperinflation and severe dyspnea in COPD patients. The aim of this study is to carry out the effect of an energy conservation technique on dyspnea to facilitate stair climbing.
4,253 studies on the registry are indexed under Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive; 707 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 22 is below the median of 70 across 3,008 interventional studies indexed under Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive.

Exclusion Criteria:
Patients will perform one session of stair climbing of 108 steps (corresponding to 6 floors).
Other: energy conservation technique
Patients will perform one session of stair climbing of 108 steps (corresponding to 6 floors).
Other: control session
During the session of stair climbing, patients will perform a break at least of 5 seconds every 3 steps.
Patients will realize one session of stair climbing at their own pace
Difference in Dyspnea at iso time and at time limit between the two sessions
Difference in dyspnea using Modified Borg Scale (0 - 10 points) 0=no dyspnea ; 10 = maximal effort
Time frame: The outcome will be measured before, at the end and every one minute during the stair climbing sessions. The two stair climbing sessions will perform the same day, separate from 30 minutes minimum for a total time frame of 1 day.
difference in time required for the patient to climb the 6 floors
Difference in time (seconds) will be evaluated using a stopwatch
Time frame: The outcome will be collected at the end of each sessions. The two stair climbing sessions will perform the same day, separate from 30 minutes minimum for a total time frame of 1 day.
Difference in respiratory rate
Difference in respiratory rate (cycles per minute) will be measured breath-by-breath using a Respiratory Inductive Plethysmography
Time frame: Data will be continuously collected during every sessions. The two stair climbing sessions will perform the same day, separate from 30 minutes minimum for a total time frame of 1 day.
Difference in inspiratory capacity
Difference in inspiratory capacity (Liters) will be measured using a portable spirometer
Time frame: The outcome will be collected before and at the end of each sessions (within 2 minutes after the end). The two stair climbing sessions will perform the same day, separate from 30 minutes minimum for a total time frame of 1 day.
Difference in Cardiac Frequency
Difference in Cardiac Frequence (bpm) using a pulse oximetry
Time frame: Data will be continuously collected during every sessions. The two stair climbing sessions will perform the same day, separate from 30 minutes minimum for a total time frame of 1 day.
Difference in Oxygen Saturation
Difference in Oxygen Saturation
Time frame: Data will be continuously collected during every sessions. The two stair climbing sessions will perform the same day, separate from 30 minutes minimum for a total time frame of 1 day.
Difference in peripheral muscle oxygenation
Muscle oxygenation (arbitrary unit) will be evaluated using Near-infrared spectroscopy technology.
Time frame: Data will be continuously collected during every sessions. The two stair climbing sessions will perform the same day, separate from 30 minutes minimum for a total time frame of 1 day.
Difference in tidal volume
Difference in tidal volume (Liters) will be measured breath-by-breath using a portable spirometer
Time frame: The outcome will be collected before and at the end of each sessions (within 2 minutes after the end). The two stair climbing sessions will perform the same day, separate from 30 minutes minimum for a total time frame of 1 day.
Difference in muscular fatigue
Difference in muscular fatigue using Modified Borg Scale (0 - 10 points) 0=no muscular fatigue ; 10 = maximal effort
Time frame: The outcome will be measured before, at the end and every one minute during the stair climbing sessions. The two stair climbing sessions will perform the same day, separate from 30 minutes minimum for a total time frame of 1 day.

Ran from Jul 2018 to primary completion in Mar 2019, 8 months.
Of 796 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, half reached primary completion within 24 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 45. This study's 8 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 848 studies reached it within 24 months; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 42.
