Effects of Home-based Inspiratory Muscle Training in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Dokuz Eylul University·interventional·Posted Apr 29, 2022·Updated Jan 10, 2024

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) and Sham IMT for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and IPF. Completed, enrolled 28 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the home-based inspiratory muscle training program on lung functions, dyspnea, inspiratory muscle strength, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Patients are evaluated before the inspiratory muscle training and after 8 weeks of training.

Interventions

Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT)device

The IMT protocol will consist of home-based high-intensity daily training - two cycles of 30 breaths with a 1-min rest between sets, twice a day for 8 weeks using an IMT Threshold device (Threshold IMT Philips® Respironics, Inc). The intensity of the training will be set to 50% of each patient's maximal inspiratory pressure measured every week and was adjusted weekly based on the modified Borg scale from 4 to 6 regarding respiratory effort performed during the session.

Sham IMTdevice

The IMT protocol will consist of home-based daily training - two cycles of 30 breaths with a 1-min rest between sets, twice a day for 8 weeks using an IMT Threshold device (Threshold IMT Philips® Respironics, Inc). The intensity of the training will be set to the lowest intensity of the IMT Threshold device.
