Elastic tape plus rehab for COPD breathing problems
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies whether using elastic tape during pulmonary rehabilitation can improve breathing and physical function in people with moderate to very severe COPD. It may help you tolerate rehab exercises more comfortably if you meet their specific health and safety requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if wearing an elastic chest wrap during exercise can help people with COPD breathe better and walk farther. You would do breathing and walking tests with and without the wrap to see if it makes a difference.
This study tests whether breathing extra oxygen during outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation helps people with COPD. Participants will have their oxygen levels checked during exercise to see if extra oxygen improves their rehab results.
This study tests whether a respiratory rehabilitation program improves sleep quality in people with COPD. It may help you breathe better and sleep more restfully.
This trial tests a device that briefly opens your airways to help release trapped air after exercise. It may reduce shortness of breath and improve your daily life with COPD.
