Physical Activity in Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)

Physical Activity and Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Novel Controlled Trial Investigating Functional Performance and Activity Limitations and Assessing the Benefits of an Outcome Measures Driven Exercise Program

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 50 (estimated)
• Sponsor: University of Miami · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 80 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of the study is to characterize the challenges to physical activity and exercise for HS patients and design an exercise program (EP) with evidence-based techniques and examine its outcome.

Conditions

• Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Home Exercise Program	Participants will perform a minimum of one exercise from each of the targeted muscle groups at a frequency of every other day, for a total of 3-4 days a week of exercise with a rest day. The entire strengthening exercise routine should take approximately 25-30 minutes to perform, including rest periods. Each muscle grouping of exercises is designed to progress from minimal muscle effort required to moderate to maximal effort. Participants will use a video to perform the exercises as well as a handout with specific instructions.
BEHAVIORAL	Short Exercise Program	Participants in this group will attend one in-person visit expected to last about 60 minutes. The clinic visit will consist of standard of care procedures and tests for individuals with mild-to-severe HS .
