Respiratory Muscle Strength and Aerobic Capacity in Scleroderma

Investigation of Respiratory Muscle Strength and Aerobic Capacity in Patients With Scleroderma

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

Primary aim of this study was to compare respiratory muscle strength, aerobic capacity, dyspnea, pulmonary function tests and fatigue values with healthy controls. The secondary aim was to evaluate the relationship between respiratory muscle strength and other parameters in these patients and to examine the factors that may affect respiratory muscle strength. Respiratory muscle strength, aerobic capacity, respiratory function tests and fatigue will be evaluated

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)
