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.
