Impact of Oxygen Therapy on Fatigue in Patients With Hypermobile-type Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The hypothesis of the OXYSED study is that the delivery of 3 months of oxygen therapy via an oxygen concentrator would reduce fatigue, pain, headaches, kinesiophobia, drug intake, dyspnea, and improve walking performance, quality of sleep and quality of life of patients with Ehlers Danlos syndrome hypermobility type (EDS / HT).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- FSS (Fatigue Severity Scale) score [7 months]
- FSS (Fatigue Severity Scale) score [10 months]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- PRISM (Pictorial Representation of Illness and Self Measure) score [7 and 10 months]
- SF-36 quality of life questionnaire (Short Form Heath Survey) score [7 and 10 months]
- TSK (Tampa Scale Kinesiophobia) score [7 and 10 months]
- walk test results [7 and 10 months]
- HIT-6 (Headache Impact Test) score [7 and 10 months]
- NQ (Nijmegen questionnaire ) score [7 and 10 months]
- Epworth Sleepiness score [7 and 10 months]
- PSQI (Pittsburgh sleep quality index) score [7 and 10 months]
- HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) score [7 and 10 months]
- NYHA (New Year Heart Association) score [7 and 10 months]
- consumption of care [7 and 10 months]
The consumption of care is defined by the presence of at least one major criterion associated or not with the minor criterion: Major criteria: Variation of at least one level in the frequency of use and / or in the duration of use compared to the baseline assessment concerning the use of flexible and / or rigid orthoses, Variation of at least one level of the analgesic levels used compared to the baseline assessment for pain relievers. Variation of at least one level in frequency compared to the baseline assessment for physiotherapy sessions. Minor criterion: Variation of the total daily dose compared to the baseline assessment for painkillers.
- Number of oxygen therapy sessions followed by the patient [7 and 10 months]
