About this trial

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of high-flow nasal therapy (HFNT) oxygen compared to long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) on dyspnea and quality of life in intersititial lung disease patients with chronic respiratory failure and persistent breathlessness in whom LTOT has already been initiated.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

SGRQ questionnaire : Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (symptom component)

Symptom component of SGRQ : Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more limitations.

Time frame
2 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Dyspnea assessement : dyspnoea-12

Dyspnea-12 score range from 0 to 36, with higher score indicating worse breathlessness

Time frame
2 weeks
2

Dyspnea assessement : mMRC: Modified Medical Research Council

mMRC score : range frome 0 (low) to 4(high) and assesses the intensity of dyspnea

Time frame
2 weeks
3

Dyspnea assessement : MDP: Multidimensional dyspnea profile

* Immediate affective score range from 0 to 10 with higher score indicating worse breathlessness * Sensory score range from 0 to 50 with higher score indicating worse breathlessness * Emotional score range from 0 to 50 with higher score indicating worse breathlessness

Time frame
2 weeks
4

Quality of life (SGRQ questionnaire) : S.George's Respiratory Questionnaire

* Total score range from 0 to 100 with higher score indicating more limitations * Activity subscore range from 0 to 100 with higher score indicating more limitations * Impact sub-score range from 0 to 100 with higher score indicating more limitations
