Sleep and breathing rehab study for COPD patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a community-based maintenance program for people with moderate to severe COPD who have finished an initial 8-week pulmonary rehab. The goal is to help you stay active and keep your health gains.
This study tests whether doing pulmonary rehab (breathing and exercise training) in a salt chamber can help people with COPD breathe and feel better. It is for people whose COPD is stable and who can move independently.
This trial compares two breathing devices (CPAP and NIV) for people with both COPD and sleep apnea who recently needed breathing help in the hospital. The goal is to see which device works better at preventing future breathing emergencies.
This trial compares doing pulmonary rehab at home via video calls versus going to a center. It aims to see which way helps people with COPD breathe better and feel healthier.
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.
This study looks at what makes patients with COPD more or less likely to accept doing lung rehabilitation at home using video calls. It aims to improve future programs to better fit patients' needs.
