Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of using the Inspiratory muscle training in comparison with diaphragmatic exercises in respiratory indicators and quality of life of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Design
A clinical trial with a control group, randomized by block method, without blinding, on 22 patients
Settings and conduct
Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis referred to Masih Daneshvari Hospital in Tehran before the start of the study underwent a 6-minute walking test, maximum respiratory pressure determination, and completion of a quality of life questionnaire. These assessments were compared after 8 weeks of treatment on the intervention and control group.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Conditions for study: Male and female patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis at the discretion of the physician, ability to perform exercises, maximal inspiratory pressure less than 60 cmH2O, no history of surgery in the last 12 months, no severe osteoporosis, Borg Scale less than 6 The criteria for leaving the study include the patient's reluctance, the patient's inability to participate in the regular training program and the intervention procedure or the use of non-invasive ventilation
Intervention groups
In the control group, patients underwent diaphragmatic exercises and chest opening exercises. In the intervention group, in addition to standard therapies, patients used an inspiratory muscle training device.
Main outcome variables
Maximum inspiratory pressure; Maximum expiratory pressure; Carbon dioxide pressure, muscle strength index; forced expiratory volume; Total lung capacity

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Randomization Method: Blocked Randomization Unit: Individual Randomization Tool: Number Table Using 2 therapeutic blocks (11 patients in each block ), patients were randomly placed in two separate blocks based on the patient's code and file number. Patients in these blocks were randomly transferred and a balanced randomized list of the two treatment groups was obtained. In the first group of patients, in addition to standard treatments, controlled exercise included diaphragmatic strengthening exercises and chest opening exercises. In the second group of patients, in addition to the treatments applied for the control group (the first group), they were also treated with an inspiratory muscle training device.
