Study Summary

Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome is defined as a combination of obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) and daytime hypercapnia in arterial blood gas analysis (PaCO2 > 45 mmHg) without other pathologies that cause hypoventilation. Symptoms seen in individuals diagnosed with OHS are stated as a feeling of suffocation due to apnea, loud snoring, morning headache and excessive daytime sleepiness. Respiratory mechanics, respiratory muscle performance, pulmonary gas exchange, lung functions and exercise capacity parameters are adversely affected in patients. Early treatment is important so that these negative changes do not lead to worse outcomes. Weight control, bariatric surgery, pharmacological treatment and non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) are included in the treatment program of OHS patients. The effects of exercise on the treatment program of OHS patients are unknown. Considering all the studies in the literature, the primary purpose of this study is to evaluate aerobic and strength training on exercise capacity and sleep quality in patients with hypoventilation syndrome. The secondary aim is to examine the effect of this exercise training on peripheral muscle strength, emotional state, body composition and quality of life parameters. In addition, the researchers believe that this study will form the basis for further scientific studies on OHS and exercise and will make an important contribution to the literature.

Study Description

Patients with Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome followed for at least 1 month in the Department of Chest Diseases, Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul University will be included in the study. The patients will be divided into two groups using the computer-assisted randomization program as the study and control groups. The study will be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and consent form will be obtained from the patients participating in the study, indicating that they are willing to participate in the study. Before starting the study, the purpose of the study will be explained to the participants and all information about the study will be given. After 10 weeks of exercise training, patients will be evaluated with, Six-Minute Walking Test, pittsburgh sleep quality index, Body Composition, Nottingham Health Profile, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Muscle strength. The primary aim is to examine the effects of evaluate aerobic and strengthening training on exercise capacity and sleep quality in patients with hypoventilation syndrome. The secondary aim is to examine the effect of this exercise training on peripheral muscle strength, emotional state, body composition and quality of life parameters.
