Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training During PR on Dyspnoea and Exercise Tolerance in COPD Patients

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a respiratory disease that results in progressive airflow limitation and respiratory distress.

The benefit of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) combined with a pulmonary rehabilitation programme is uncertain. The investigators aimed to demonstrate that, in patients with obstructive pulmonary disease, IMT performed during a PRP is associated with an improvement of dyspnoea and exercise tolerance.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the inspiratory muscle training (with incremental load every two weeks in two months) performed during pulmonary rehabilitation on dyspnoea, 6 minutes walk test and quality of life using the St George's respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) in COPD patients.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Were COPD diagnosed by pulmonary function testing
  • Clinically stable
  • Abscence of other obstructive diseases
  • Signed written consert

Exclusion criteria

  • Were previous pneumonectomy or lobectomy in the past 6 months
  • spontaneous risk of pneumothorax or rib fracture
  • Incapacity to follow a standard rehabilitation programme (locomotor deficits, acute cardiac failure and acute exacerbation of COPD at the beginning of the programme)
  • The absence of written informed consent.

Treatment and study plan

Pulmonary rehabilitation+IMT

Other

The experimental group receives inspiratory muscle training and aerobic exercise.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Other

The Active Comparator group received only aerobic exercise.

Primary outcomes

  1. Dyspnoea

    Time frame: Baseline, After 2 months

    The dyspnoea were measured before and after the 6 minutes walk test

  2. Inspiratory muscle strength

    Time frame: Baseline, After 2 months

    The inspiratory muscle strength were measured by maximal inspiratory pressure test
