简要总结
Introduction and Objectives:IPF, characterized by shortness of breath and progressive deterioration in lung function.Baduanjin (BJ) is a mindbody health exercise that combines physical exercise with psychological properties to maximize both physical and mental health.The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of these exercises in patients with IPF and to present an alternative in terms of the applicability of BJ exercises as a new treatment method
Methods: 28 volunteers were invited to the study.These patients were randomly divided into 2 groups.The subjects in the exercise group were given 24 sessions of supervised online BJ exercise training, 3 days a week, for 8 weeks. The patients included in the control group did not receive any training during the 8 week period
详细描述
Introduction and Objectives: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a disease with a poor prognosis that causes fibrosis in the interstitial space of the lungs, characterized by shortness of breath and progressive deterioration in lung function. The main purpose of this randomized controlled study is to investigate the effectiveness of applying Baduanjin exercise training for 8 weeks, which has previously been shown to be effective in other patient groups, on respiratory functions (%FVC, FEV1, FEV1%), respiratory muscle strength (MIP and MEP) and quality of life (SGRQ) in patients with IPF. It is planned to be used as a new treatment method in this patient group. It is to offer an alternative in terms of the applicability of Baduanjin exercises.
Methods: Twenty eight volunteers were invited to the study. These patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. The subjects in the exercise group were given 24 sessions of supervised online Baduanjin exercise training, 3 days a week for 8 weeks, and the patients also did Baduanjin exercise 1 day a week at home unattended. The first evaluation, follow-up and final evaluation of the patients included in the control group were performed; In addition to their sociodemographic characteristics, functional exercise capacity, respiratory muscle strength and respiratory functions, quality of life were evaluated before and after treatment.

- •Participation in a formal rehabilitation program no later than 4 months before the beginning of the study; having severe musculoskeletal or neurological disorders; having severe heart disease; inability to understand informed consent conditions and exercises; need for additional oxygen at rest; presence of obvious lung infection requiring anti-infection therapy (patients had a respiratory tract infection or systemic infection within 4 weeks before enrollment); situations where exercise is contraindicated; presence of another chronic lung disease (e.g., collagen vascular disease, obstructive pulmonary disease, nonparenchymal restrictive lung disease, occupational lung disease, sarcoidosis, or other idiopathic interstitial pneumonia)
结局指标
主要结局
Functional capacity
时间窗: Baseline of the study and 8 weeks after intervention
Functional exercise capacity was evaluated with the six-minute walking test (6MWT). Participants rested in a sitting position for 10 minutes before starting the test. Participants were then explained the test protocol and asked to walk as far as possible without running in a 30-meter straight corridor for six minutes. At the end of the test, the evaluations made before the test were repeated and the six-minute walking distance (6MWD) was recorded in meters
次要结局
- St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire(Baseline of the study and 8 weeks after intervention)
- Pulmonary Function Tests(Baseline of the study and 8 weeks after intervention)
- Respiratory muscle strength(Baseline of the study and 8 weeks after intervention)
