Official title
A Single-Center Randomized Clinical Trial With Prospective Follow-up of the Efficacy and Safety of Short and Long Duration Intermittent Hypoxic-Hyperoxic Training in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Including Elderly Patients
About this study
This is a single-center randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of short (3 days) versus long (10 days) courses of intermittent hypoxic-hyperoxic training (IHHT) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus aged 50-74 years. Participants will be randomized into three groups: 3-day IHHT course (n≥100), 10-day IHHT course (n≥100), or control group receiving gas mixture with constant O2 21% for 10 days (n≥50). The primary outcomes are fasting glucose levels and HbA1c. Secondary outcomes include cardiovascular parameters, quality of life, cognitive function, and biological age.
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 50-74 years inclusive * Type 2 diabetes mellitus confirmed by medical documentation * Stable therapy for diabetes and other chronic diseases for at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment * Ability to comply with study protocol requirements * Signed informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Type 1 diabetes mellitus * Acute diabetes complications within 6 months (diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, lactic acidosis, hypoglycemic coma) * Acute or active chronic infections * Angina pectoris functional class III-IV * Uncontrolled grade 3 arterial hypertension (SBP ≥180 and/or DBP ≥110 mmHg) * Acute cerebrovascular accident, myocardial infarction, surgical interventions, clinically significant injuries within 6 months * Internal carotid artery stenosis \>60% and/or symptomatic stenosis 50-99% * Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma * Exacerbation and decompensation of chronic diseases within 1 month ALT and/or AST levels \>2-3 times upper limit of normal * Congenital heart and major vessel abnormalities * Implanted cardiac pacemaker * Cancer with remission \<5 years * Mental illness, drug addiction, alcohol dependence * Pregnancy * Inability to participate throughout the study period
