This trial tests if a traditional Chinese medicine treatment can help people with a severe worsening of COPD. It is designed for those who have specific Chinese medicine patterns and are willing to try an additional therapy during their hospital stay.
This study explores how people with COPD perceive body signals during a sudden worsening of symptoms (exacerbation) that requires a hospital stay. It aims to improve symptom management and patient care.
This study looks at how common a certain type of white blood cell (eosinophil) is in people with COPD during a flare-up, and whether it affects how they do over time. It may help doctors learn if measuring eosinophils can guide treatment for COPD flare-ups.
This study looks at people hospitalized for a COPD flare-up (“exacerbation”). It may help improve how flare-ups are treated because participants need to receive the usual rescue medicines like steroids and/or antibiotics and then follow a study plan.
This study looks at people with COPD who have a sudden worsening of symptoms, called an exacerbation. It tracks what symptoms they have and how they do over time to help doctors understand better how to treat these episodes.
This trial tests a new way to diagnose and treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) flare-ups (sudden worsening of symptoms). It aims to help people who come to the emergency room with a COPD flare-up get better care and follow-up.
