Helping Breathlessness in COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a new approach can help relieve severe shortness of breath in people with COPD who are already on standard inhaler therapy. It may help you breathe easier and improve your daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have been diagnosed with COPD and have symptoms like shortness of breath, cough, or mucus.
- You have been using a combination inhaler (LABA/LAMA) for at least 3 months.
- You see your lung doctor regularly for checkups.
- You are willing to follow the study schedule and give written permission.

This study looks at how different breathing tests (spirometry and impulse oscillometry) and a simple shortness-of-breath scale relate to how well you respond to a quick-relief inhaler (bronchodilator). It aims to improve how we measure treatment effectiveness in people with asthma or COPD.
This trial tests a portable device that delivers gentle air pressure to help you breathe easier. It is for people with severe COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) who want to see if this device can improve their breathing and daily life.
This study tests how a bronchodilator (a medicine that opens airways) affects breathing and exercise in people with COPD. It aims to understand if it helps you breathe easier during physical activity.
This trial studies whether using a handheld breathing device (called a PEP buddy) helps people with COPD feel less short of breath. It also looks at how the device may work to improve breathing during daily activities.
This study compares simple breathing tests (oscillometry and FeNO) used by your primary care doctor against a specialist's diagnosis to see if they can accurately tell if you have asthma or COPD. If you have symptoms like wheezing, cough, or shortness of breath but haven't been diagnosed yet, this trial may help improve how these conditions are found.
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.
