IRCT20160802029159N2 IRCT 2022-09-26 Babol University of Medical Sciences The Effect of Acupressure on Spirometery Indicators and Functional Exercise Capacity The Effect of Acupressure on Spirometry Indicators and Functional Exercise Capacity in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) 2022-10-07 anticipated 120 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/40042 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: A randomized controlled trial with patients and evaluators blinded to the group allocation. A total of 120 participants with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease will be randomly assigned into one of three groups: one intervention group (acupressure), one control group; and one placebo group. The eligible people will be in the study groups by a randomization process. The random allocation of this study will be achieved using an online random number generator (randomization.com) following a balanced 1:1 pattern. The information on the allocation list will remain strictly confidential and sequentially numbered; opaque, sealed envelopes will be used to contain the randomization assignments. The Acupressure Specialist will open the envelopes according to the numerical sequence, immediately before the first session of treatment, Blinding description: Patients will remain blinded regarding the category of their allocation throughout the study data collection period. Additionally, the evaluators responsible for the data collection and the outcomes assessor will also be blinded to the patient allocation. The Acupressure Specialist will be the only person not blind to the type of treatment to be performed. N/A Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Intervention 1: Intervention group: In the intervention group, 4 points including the point (EX.17)Dingchuan (at 5 cun intervals with the C7 neck neck) (due to the fact that each cun is approximately the same as the width of the thumb), the point (UB.13) Feishu (1 / 5th cun is located next to the T-3 thoracic vertebra), point (UB.23) Shenshu is located 1 / 5th cun along the lumbar vertebra L2) and the point (St.36) Zusanli (lower than the lower knee joint of the tibia tetanus) and then acupressure (12 sessions) for 3 minutes (a total of 12 minutes), 3 times per week and for 4 weeks. Intervention 2: Control group: In the placebo group, 1.5 centimeters distance from the main acupressure program will be implemented. Intervention 3: Control group: In the control group, routine care will be taken and there will be no intervention. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: The data will be shared with the Ethics Committee of the Babil University of Medical Sciences after the analysis in the text of the article and the report of the end of the work. When: 7 months To whom: Only the research team and the Ethics Committee of the Babil University of Medical Sciences have access to raw data.
