Exercise with oxygen for moderate COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special exercise program, done with short breaks and extra oxygen, can be safely done by people with COPD. It may help you exercise better and feel less out of breath.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 60 years old.
- You have stage II COPD (a moderate form of chronic lung disease).
- Your BMI (a height-to-weight ratio) is between 20 and 30.
- You have not smoked for at least one week before starting.
- You are able to do light physical activity (even if you are not currently active).

This study compares how well people with chronic lung diseases perform during exercise when breathing regular air versus when using low-flow liquid oxygen. It aims to see if using liquid oxygen during exercise can improve exercise ability and quality of life.
This trial tests whether a special breathing device that helps you breathe during exercise can help you walk or pedal longer without getting out of breath. It is for people with severe COPD who have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood or who get very tired during exercise.
This study compares breathing normal air versus low-flow liquid oxygen during exercise to see if oxygen helps improve performance in people with conditions affecting the lungs or the blood vessels in the lungs. You would exercise while using a portable oxygen device and then without it to compare the effects.
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 a five-week treadmill exercise program that combines two types of aerobic training to help people with COPD breathe easier and stay active. If you have shortness of breath during daily activities, this could help improve your stamina.
This study is testing whether using portable oxygen during physical activity can help people with mild-to-moderate interstitial lung disease feel better and be more active. It is for people whose oxygen levels drop during exercise but are normal at rest.
