Inpatient lung rehab for elderly COPD flare-ups
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a supervised breathing and exercise program for older adults hospitalized with a COPD flare-up (acute exacerbation). The program aims to help you recover faster and breathe easier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older.
- You are currently in the hospital for a COPD flare-up (sudden worsening of symptoms).
- You are awake and able to follow instructions.
- Your shortness of breath is due to COPD, not a heart problem, collapsed lung, or fluid in the lungs.
- Your blood pressure is stable (systolic above 90).
- You do not have unstable mental health, coughing up blood, collapsed lung, or fluid in the lungs.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies a coordinated (multidisciplinary) care program for people with severe COPD who were recently hospitalized for worsening breathing symptoms. It may help reduce future flare-ups and improve day-to-day breathing by coordinating multiple types of care in a COPD center.
This study compares a structured lung rehabilitation program done at home versus in the hospital for people with moderate to severe COPD who have recently been hospitalized. It aims to see which setting helps improve breathing and daily function.
This study tests a home-based program that provides education and activity guidance for people with COPD who have been hospitalized in the past year. It aims to help you understand your condition better and stay active safely.
This study tests whether spending time at a moderate altitude (like a mountain resort) can help people with COPD breathe easier. It measures how open your airways are using a special test while you do a rehabilitation program.
This trial tests whether special care from a nurse can help people hospitalized for a COPD flare-up breathe better and recover faster. It may be a good fit if you are 40 or older, have moderate or worse shortness of breath, and are stable enough for the nursing program.
This study tests whether a supervised home-based exercise program, delivered via video calls, can help people recovering from a COPD flare-up feel stronger and breathe easier, compared with usual care. If you join, you'll have regular online sessions with a rehab team from home.
