Probiotics for lung rehab in COPD patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding probiotics (healthy bacteria you take as a supplement) to your regular lung rehab program helps people with COPD breathe better and feel stronger.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or early signs of COPD.
- You have been doing pulmonary rehabilitation (a supervised exercise and breathing program) for more than three months.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have not had a flare-up of your lung disease in the past three months that needed emergency care or a hospital stay.
- You can walk or exercise on a treadmill or bike for a cardiopulmonary test.

This trial tests a set of breathing exercises that might help people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) breathe more easily and feel better. You would do the exercises at home, and the study will see if they improve your breathing and quality of life.
This study tests whether taking a probiotic can improve symptoms, lung function, and inflammation in people with COPD. It is for adults with stable COPD who have not had a flare-up or treatment change in the last two months.
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 study compares different schedules of pulmonary rehabilitation (exercise and breathing training) to see which frequency works best for people with COPD. It aims to improve breathing, fitness, and quality of life.
This study tests a virtual (online) pulmonary rehabilitation program for people with COPD. If you join, you will participate in exercises and education from home, with remote support from the study team.
