Salt chamber pulmonary rehab for COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing pulmonary rehab (breathing and exercise training) in a salt chamber can help people with COPD breathe and feel better. It is for people whose COPD is stable and who can move independently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of COPD from a lung specialist.
- Your lung function must be at least 30% of what is predicted for your age and height (your doctor can check this).
- You are not currently having an exacerbation (sudden worsening of symptoms) and have not had a fever or infection in the last 2 weeks.
- You can walk and exercise without help from another person.
