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 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 study tests a telemedicine-based program to help adults with moderate to severe sleep apnea use CPAP therapy over the long term. You may benefit if you have sleep apnea and are willing to use a CPAP machine with remote support from your care team.
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.
This trial studies a program that uses mindfulness coaching to help people with chronic lung disease (COPD) and/or heart failure (HF) be more physically active. You may benefit if you can safely start exercising and track your steps using a Fitbit.
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.
