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 whether whole-body electrical stimulation (light electrical pulses sent through pads on your skin) can help people with severe COPD feel better and move more easily. It is for people with advanced COPD who can still walk.
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 exercises to strengthen your breathing muscles can improve how well your diaphragm (the main muscle you use to breathe) works in people with moderate COPD. The goal is to help you breathe more easily and improve your lung function.
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 how nutrition affects the strength of the diaphragm, the main muscle you use to breathe, in older adults with COPD who are on a breathing machine. It may help find better ways to support patients during recovery.
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.
