Video game breathing exercises for asthma and COPD overlap
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing breathing exercises through a video game can improve lung function and breathing symptoms in people who have both asthma and COPD. It could be a more engaging way to stick with breathing training at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 74 years old.
