In-hospital exercise program for older adults with COPD flare-up
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise and breathing program while in the hospital helps older patients recover from a sudden COPD flare-up. It aims to improve your strength and breathing so you can get back to normal activities more quickly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial tests whether a long-term home exercise program helps people with COPD recover better after a hospital stay for a flare-up. You would exercise at home and may join rehabilitation to improve your breathing and daily life.
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 compares two ways of doing pulmonary rehabilitation—one in the hospital and one at home—for people with moderate to severe COPD who have recently been in the hospital. The goal is to see which approach helps improve breathing and quality of life.
This study follows people who are in the hospital for a COPD flare-up to see how their heart and blood vessels are affected. You might join if you're 40 or older and have confirmed COPD.
This trial tests whether a special breathing muscle training program, done at home with help from a smartphone app, can help you recover better after a hospital stay for a COPD flare-up.
