Telehealth lifestyle and exercise for COPD and sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a telehealth program that combines lifestyle coaching and exercise to help people with both COPD and sleep apnea improve their breathing and daily function. It may be a good fit if you are overweight, have a history of smoking, and feel short of breath during light activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have COPD (chronic lung disease) and sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep).
- You have smoked at least 10 pack-years (e.g., 1 pack a day for 10 years).
- Your BMI is 25 or higher (overweight or obese).
- You get short of breath even with mild activity (like walking up a slight hill).
- You have not lost or gained more than 15 pounds in the last 3 months, and you are not in a weight loss program or using prescription weight loss pills.

This study tests whether a 12-week home exercise program done over video calls can help people with sleep apnea. You would join group sessions from home, and the program aims to improve your sleep and overall health.
This trial tests a smart home-based program using telerehabilitation to help people with obstructive sleep apnea. It aims to see if personalized health coaching and remote exercise can improve sleep and overall health.
This study tests a lifestyle and physical activity program as a treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. It is for people who have not tried CPAP and want to see if exercise and healthy habits can help.
This trial tests whether long-term use of CPAP therapy, supported by telemedicine, helps people with moderate to severe sleep apnea. It could improve your sleep and health.
This trial tests a smart home breathing guidance system for people with stable COPD. It aims to help improve your ability to exercise and be active using a remote coaching program you can follow at home.
This Phase 2 study looks at the cardiovascular (heart/blood vessel) effects of having both sleep apnea and COPD. It may help doctors better understand who is at risk and how to manage these breathing problems together.
