Testing sleep and exercise effects on strength and thinking in lung disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies whether improving sleep habits can help people with lung conditions like COPD or IPF maintain muscle strength and thinking (cognitive function). It may help by addressing sleep quality and related health factors, but eligibility depends on your current diagnoses and treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have COPD or IPF (two types of long-term lung disease)
- You have not been hospitalized for a breathing (respiratory) flare-up in the last month
- You have not already been diagnosed with low muscle strength (sarcopenia)
- You have not already been diagnosed with thinking problems (cognitive dysfunction)
- You are not using long-term home oxygen or non-invasive breathing support (NIV)

This study measures oxygen levels in your brain and leg muscles during exercise to understand how COPD affects them.
This trial studies whether adding a dietary supplement to exercise can improve muscle strength in people with muscle loss (sarcopenia) who also have lung disease such as COPD or ILD. It may help you build strength and function without needing urgent hospital care.
This trial will look at how breathing (respiratory) muscles weaken as people age, a condition called sarcopenia. It aims to better understand age-related muscle loss in a key area that affects daily life, helping identify individuals who might need extra support or exercise programs.
This trial tests whether doing exercise at set intervals can improve daily function in Veterans who have both COPD (lung disease) and OSA (sleep apnea). It may help you move and function better while managing symptoms from both conditions.
This study looks at the strength and flexibility of muscles you use to breathe, including muscles in your chest and neck. If you have moderate-to-severe COPD and have been stable on your medications, it may help researchers understand how these muscles are affected.
This trial studies how having both low muscle mass and obesity might affect sleep quality in people with obesity hypoventilation syndrome. It aims to better understand sleep issues in this condition.
