Home vs. center rehab for COPD patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares doing pulmonary rehab at home via video calls versus going to a center. It aims to see which way helps people with COPD breathe better and feel healthier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at what factors affect whether people with COPD accept home-based telerehabilitation (rehab exercises done at home with remote support). Your participation would help understand how to make these programs more widely accepted.
This study tests a home-based or remote pulmonary rehabilitation program for people with COPD who live in rural areas. The goal is to help you manage your breathing and stay active, all from home without travel to a medical center.
This study tests whether breathing extra oxygen during outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation helps people with COPD. Participants will have their oxygen levels checked during exercise to see if extra oxygen improves their rehab results.
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.
This study compares remote (tele-pulmonary) rehab to in-person rehab for people with moderate-to-severe COPD who live far from medical centers. You join from home using a phone or computer, with guided exercises and support.
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.
