An observational study in Asthma, sponsored by Hacettepe University. Recruiting at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-08-27.
Sponsored by Hacettepe University · Observational
The aim of the study compare the cardiopulmonary parameters of individuals with asthma with healthy subjects.
It is thought that aerobic capacity of asthmatic individuals decreases due to chronic respiratory disease, especially oxygen consumption. Detailed investigation will be provided with this research.
3,921 studies on the registry are indexed under Asthma; 506 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 15 is below the median of 150 across 970 observational studies indexed under Asthma.

Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
The study will include asthma patients followed up by Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Chest Diseases, Immunology and Allergy Branch and healthy individuals.

cardiopulmonary exercise test used assessment of exercise capacity
Exercise capacity
Exercise capacity will be assessed by Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test. The test will be performed on a bicycle ergometer. The test will be terminated when the target heart rate is reached or when the patient indicates that they are unable to continue the test. maximal oxygen consumption and the workload achieved will be recorded.
Time frame: 20 minutes
Respiratory muscle strength
Inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength will be measured with a mouth pressure measuring device. Measurements will be made in a sitting position with the hip and knee at 90 degrees and the trunk upright.
Time frame: 8 minutes
Peripheral muscle strength
It will be evaluated with a portable manual muscle strength measuring device. Muscle strength of knee extensors will be measured. The measurement will be performed with the patient sitting with his/her back unsupported and his/her hands crossed on his/her chest.
Time frame: 5 minutes
Grip strength
It will be evaluated with a portable hand dynamometer. Measurements will be made in a sitting position with the hip and knee at 90 degrees and the trunk upright. The measurement will be performed with the arm adjacent to the side of the trunk and the forearm parallel to the ground.
Time frame: 3 minutes
Kinesiophobia
Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale will be used. A total of 17 questions will be answered in 4-point Likert form. In total, the patient scores between 17-68. A high score indicates high kinesiophobia.
Time frame: 3 minutes
Quality of Life (symptoms, mood, activity limitation, environmental exposure)
Asthma Quality of Life Scale will be used for the evaluation. This scale consists of 4 sub-headings including symptoms, mood, activity limitation, environmental exposure and 32 questions. Each item is scored between 1-7. The total score of the scale is calculated by averaging the scores given to the items. The higher the score, the better the quality of life.
Time frame: 10 minutes
