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.

This trial tests how well different breathing tests measure relief from shortness of breath in people with asthma or COPD. It may help doctors find better ways to check how well treatments are working.
This trial tests a portable “positive pressure” breathing device in people with severe COPD to see how well it works and whether it’s safe. It may help if you have trouble breathing and meet the device and health requirements.
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 trial tests whether inhaled corticosteroids (steroid inhalers) help people with mild-to-moderate COPD breathe better in areas with higher air pollution. You may join if you have mild-to-moderate COPD, are between 40 and 80, and haven't smoked for at least six months.
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.
