Home breathing rehab to reduce COPD flare-ups and hospital visits
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a breathing and exercise program done at home can lower COPD flare-ups and the chance of needing hospital care. It may help people with more severe COPD manage breathlessness and stay stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a wearable device that listens to your breathing at home. It may help detect early signs of a COPD flare-up so you can get care sooner. You can join if you have moderate to severe COPD and recently left the hospital for a flare-up.
This study tests a home monitoring device designed to catch COPD flare-ups (exacerbations) before they become severe. If you have had recent flare-ups, this device might help you stay healthier by alerting your doctor to problems early.
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.
This trial offers a home-based exercise and breathing program for people with COPD, done on your own schedule with remote support. It aims to improve your symptoms and quality of life without needing to travel to a clinic.
This trial tests a smart home-based breathing program that uses your phone or computer to guide you through exercises. It aims to improve your ability to exercise and breathe better with COPD.
This study tests whether a supervised home-based exercise program, delivered via video calls, can help people recovering from a COPD flare-up feel stronger and breathe easier, compared with usual care. If you join, you'll have regular online sessions with a rehab team from home.
