Breathing support during exercise for severe COPD patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a device that helps you breathe during exercise can improve how long you can keep going. It aims to help people with severe COPD who have too much carbon dioxide in their blood or who get easily exhausted.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe or very severe COPD (GOLD stage III or IV).
- Your blood shows high carbon dioxide levels, either at rest or when you exercise.
- You get tired after using more than 80% of your breathing reserve, or you cannot do more than 50 watts of exercise.
- You have health insurance and are willing to sign a consent form.

This trial tests a device that briefly opens your airways to help release trapped air after exercise. It may reduce shortness of breath and improve your daily life with COPD.
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 trial studies how different breathing support strategies affect people with COPD who have high carbon dioxide (CO2) in their blood. It may help care teams choose safer respiratory support after a breathing machine is stopped.
This trial tests whether using a non-invasive ventilator (a breathing machine with a mask) at home can help people with severe COPD who have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood. It aims to improve breathing and reduce the need for hospital visits.
This trial tests whether home telemonitoring combined with a breathing machine (non-invasive ventilation) can help people with advanced COPD and persistently high carbon dioxide levels. It aims to improve care and reduce hospital visits.
This trial tests a digital breathing training program for people with moderate to severe COPD. It aims to help strengthen your breathing muscles using a high-intensity device, which may improve your ability to breathe and feel better day to day.
