Magnetic diaphragm stimulation for COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if magnetic stimulation of the diaphragm muscle can help people with COPD breathe better. If you have had COPD for at least 6 months, are over 18, and can answer questionnaires, you may be eligible.

This study tests if whole-body electrical stimulation can help people with severe COPD feel better and breathe easier. It is a non-drug option that may strengthen muscles and improve daily function.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to your leg muscles can help you feel less breathless and less tired during daily activities, and improve your confidence in exercising. It is for people with stable COPD who are already in a pulmonary rehab program.
This study tests whether special breathing exercises (called inspiratory muscle training) can improve the strength and function of your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle). If you have moderate COPD, this training might help you breathe easier and feel better in your daily life.
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 tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation on your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) combined with deep breathing exercises can improve your breathing and quality of life. It is for people with mild to moderate COPD who do not smoke and have a chronic cough with mucus.
This trial tests a digital program that strengthens the muscles used for breathing in people with moderate to severe COPD. It may help improve breathing and daily function.
