Moxibustion for immune function in stable COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a type of moxibustion (a traditional Chinese heat therapy) called Yifei Moxibustion can help improve immune function in people with stable COPD. Researchers will look at tiny particles in your blood called exosomes to understand how the treatment works.

This study follows older adults with COPD to learn more about how traditional Chinese medicine may help manage the disease. It aims to understand the condition better and possibly improve care.
This study is looking at how Chinese medicine can help people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or a related condition called PRISm, where lung function is impaired but not exactly COPD. By joining, you'll help researchers learn more about these conditions and possibly find better ways to treat them.
This trial tests a traditional Chinese medicine patch called Shu Fei Tie, which is applied to the skin, to see if it helps people with asthma or COPD breathe better. It might be an option if you are looking for additional ways to manage your condition.
This trial tests whether a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique called moxibustion can help reduce asthma attacks and improve control. If you have asthma that is not well managed, this treatment might offer an additional option to ease your symptoms.
This trial tests a traditional Chinese herbal formula, modified Ma Xing Shi Gan decoction, as an add-on treatment for people hospitalized with a sudden worsening (acute exacerbation) of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), specifically when symptoms suggest a pattern called phlegm-heat. The goal is to see if this herbal treatment helps ease symptoms and improve recovery.
This study tests a traditional Chinese herbal recipe (Bufei) to see if it can reduce the number of people who develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is for people who have a history of chronic cough, phlegm, or shortness of breath and certain risk factors like smoking.
