Arm function study for obesity-hypoventilation patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well people with obesity hypoventilation syndrome can use their arms and hands. It aims to understand any problems with upper body movement that might affect daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must have been diagnosed with obesity hypoventilation syndrome by a lung specialist.
- You cannot have a nerve or bone problem that makes it hard to move your arms or understand instructions.
- You cannot have another lung disease, like COPD or asthma.
- You cannot have uncontrolled heart disease or uncontrolled diabetes.

This trial studies how having both low muscle mass and obesity might affect sleep quality in people with obesity hypoventilation syndrome. It aims to better understand sleep issues in this condition.
This study tests how different mask designs affect breathing in people with COPD or OHS who use a nighttime breathing machine. You'll stay overnight in a sleep lab so the team can check which mask works best for you.
This study examines how obesity affects your breathing capacity and muscle strength, especially when your lungs show a restrictive pattern (difficulty expanding fully). Researchers will assess your body composition, physical function, and respiratory muscle endurance to better understand these connections.
This trial tests a simple 6-minute hand exercise test to measure upper body endurance in people with obesity. It aims to see if the test is valid and reliable for this group.
This study checks if simple fitness tests done before surgery can predict how well your body stores oxygen. It may help doctors plan better anesthesia care.
This study looks at how well people who are overweight or obese can use their arms and breathe while performing a 6-minute pegboard and ring test. Researchers want to see if this test can help measure physical function in this group.
