ketoconazole has been researched along with Dyspnea in 1 studies

1-acetyl-4-(4-{[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]methoxy}phenyl)piperazine : A dioxolane that is 1,3-dioxolane which is substituted at positions 2, 2, and 4 by imidazol-1-ylmethyl, 2,4-dichlorophenyl, and [para-(4-acetylpiperazin-1-yl)phenoxy]methyl groups, respectively.

Dyspnea: Difficult or labored breathing.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Twenty patients with COPD (10 women and 10 men; age, 70 ± 8 years) inspired through resistances during practice sessions to identify an individualized target load that caused ratings of intensity and unpleasantness of breathlessness ≥ 50 mm on a 100-mm visual analog scale."2.78Effect of increased blood levels of β-endorphin on perception of breathlessness.

Trial Outcomes

Change in Level of B-endorphin Immunoreactivity

Change between pre-treatment and post treatment serum levels of beta-endorphin immunoreactivity measured in pmol/L (NCT01378520)
Timeframe: At the end of resistance load breathing (4.5 hours after receiving the test article)

Interventionpmol/L (Mean)
Ketoconazole153.9
Inert Powder93.9

Intensity of Breathlessness

"The average of all ratings for the intensity of breathlessness at equivalent times for each subject during Resistive Load Breathing (RLB). For example, if 1 subject provided 6 ratings during 6 minutes of RLB with Ketoconazole and 10 ratings during 10 minutes of RLB with inert powder, then ratings for intensity through 6 minutes were used for analysis for that patient. This approach was used for all subjects to yield a total of 252 ratings for Ketoconazole and for inert powder.~Subject rating of intensity of breathlessness was obtained at 1 minute intervals during RLB on a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale anchored at the bottom by No Intensity and at the top by Greatest Intensity." (NCT01378520)
Timeframe: At 1 minute intervals during Resistive Load Breathing at Period 1 (Day 3 or 4) and Period 2 (Day 5, 6 or 7)

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Ketoconazole77.6
Inert Powder78.2

Unpleasantness of Breathlessness

"The average of all ratings for the unpleasantness of breathlessness at equivalent times for each subject during Resistive Load Breathing (RLB). For example, if 1 subject provided 6 ratings during 6 minutes of RLB with Ketoconazole and 10 ratings during 10 minutes of RLB with inert powder, then ratings for unpleasantness through 6 minutes were used for analysis for that patient. This approach was used for all subjects to yield a total of 252 ratings for Ketoconazole and for inert powder.~Subject rating of intensity of unpleasantness was obtained during RLB on a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale anchored at the bottom by No Unpleasantness and at the top by Greatest Unpleasantness."

Timeframe: At 1 minute intervals during Resistive Load Breathing at Period 1 (Day 3 or 4) and Period 2 (Day 5, 6 or 7)
