MiddlesbroughAges Any age - NCT05897125Enrolling by invitation
Telehealth education to help people with COPD after a hospital stay
This study tests whether a telehealth (video/phone) education program can help people with COPD better manage their health after a hospital flare-up. It may reduce the chance of needing to return to the hospital soon after discharge.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05922202Recruiting
Studying how frailty affects outcomes in COPD
This study looks at whether frailty (how weak or vulnerable someone is) changes the risk of heart-related events and death in people with COPD. It may help doctors better predict who is at higher risk and tailor care.
ModenaAges 40 years+ - NCT04860375Recruiting
Program for severe COPD after a hospital breathing flare-up
This trial studies a coordinated (multidisciplinary) care program for people with severe COPD who were recently hospitalized for worsening breathing symptoms. It may help reduce future flare-ups and improve day-to-day breathing by coordinating multiple types of care in a COPD center.
Gothenburg, VGRAges 40–100 - NCT05704881Recruiting
Using breath CO2 levels to judge COPD flare severity in ER
This study measures an easy breathing signal called end-tidal carbon dioxide (a CO2 reading from your exhaled breath) to help judge how severe a COPD flare is. It may help doctors decide how closely you need monitoring and treatment during emergency care.
Grenoble, IsèreAges 18 years+ - NCT05829083Recruiting
Test of a new breathing interface for COPD flare-ups
This study compares a new breathing interface (“DUET”) with the usual interface for people with COPD who are having an acute flare-up and higher-than-normal carbon dioxide levels. It aims to see whether the new interface helps you breathe better and recover more safely.
AthensAges 18 years+ - NCT05958563Recruiting
CPAP may prevent COPD flare-ups in COPD-OSA overlap
This study tests whether using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can reduce acute COPD flare-ups in people who also have sleep apnea. It may help by improving breathing during sleep and lowering the chance of worsening lung symptoms.
AngersAges 40 years+ - NCT06235502Recruiting
Home exercise after COPD flare-up: the COPDtoParis project
This trial tests whether a long-term home exercise program helps people with COPD recover better after a hospital stay for a flare-up. You would exercise at home and may join rehabilitation to improve your breathing and daily life.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT06413524Recruiting
Vibration exercises for people with COPD
This trial tests if different types of vibration exercises can help people with COPD (a chronic lung disease). It may be a good fit if you have severe COPD or have had recent flare-ups, are not already exercising regularly, and are willing to try a new therapy.
Taipei, Wenshan DistAges 40–99 - NCT06523140Recruiting
Remote monitoring for COPD flare-up prevention
This trial tests a remote monitoring system (BoraCare®) for people with COPD. It uses a wearable device and an early warning score to detect flare-ups early, so you can get faster care and avoid hospital stays.
