Early or partial results. Treat as a signal, not a conclusion.
This is a completed but unpublished randomized trial comparing Nordic walking to standard cardiac rehabilitation in 77 heart failure patients over 12 weeks. No efficacy results are posted in this registry record, and clinical impact cannot be assessed from design and planned outcomes alone.
Interventional, Randomized, Parallel, Single masking, Treatment purpose. Heart Failure; age from 18 Years. Intervention: Nordic Walking Group. Compared with: Standard Exercise Therapy — No Intervention. n = 77. 1 site: Canada.
This is a completed but unpublished randomized trial comparing Nordic walking to standard cardiac rehabilitation in 77 heart failure patients over 12 weeks. No efficacy results are posted in this registry record, and clinical impact cannot be assessed from design and planned outcomes alone.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
This is a completed trial registration with no posted results; the study design and planned outcomes are clear, but no efficacy data are reported in this registry record.
As stated by the source record.
Quoted from the source exactly as published.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02061319). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Ottawa Heart Institute Research Corporation. Recruitment status: COMPLETED. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 77 participants (ACTUAL). Conditions: Heart Failure. Interventions: BEHAVIORAL: Nordic Walking. Primary outcome measures: Changes in Exercise Capacity Measured by 6 Minute Walk Test , Baseline and 12 weeks.; Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) , Baseline and 12 weeks. Brief summary: The main purpose of our project is to see if a 12-week program of Nordic walking is better than standard exercise therapy for increasing exercise capacity (measured by how far people can walk in 6 minutes) and increasing quality of life (measured by having people fill out two questionnaires). We will also see if Nordic walking: improves heart performance (measured by heart ultrasound); improves how active people are (measured by an activity monitor); increases aerobic fitness (measured by a treadmill test); improves body composition (measured by waist size); and reduces hormone levels in the blood.
