Pulmonary rehab after a COPD hospital stay
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of doing pulmonary rehabilitation—one in the hospital and one at home—for people with moderate to severe COPD who have recently been in the hospital. The goal is to see which approach helps improve breathing and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a COPD diagnosis confirmed by a breathing test showing low airflow (FEV1/FVC less than 70% after using a bronchodilator).
- You are over 40 years old.
- Your COPD is moderate to severe (not mild).
- You are willing to take part in a structured exercise and education program, either in the hospital or at home.
- You are not currently having a COPD flare-up (exacerbation).
- You do not have major health problems like uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart failure, kidney failure, or liver failure that would stop you from participating.

This study compares different schedules of pulmonary rehabilitation (exercise and breathing training) to see which frequency works best for people with COPD. It aims to improve breathing, fitness, and quality of life.
This trial studies a coordinated (multidisciplinary) care program for people with severe COPD who were recently hospitalized for worsening breathing symptoms. It may help reduce future flare-ups and improve day-to-day breathing by coordinating multiple types of care in a COPD center.
This study tests a home-based program that provides education and activity guidance for people with COPD who have been hospitalized in the past year. It aims to help you understand your condition better and stay active safely.
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise and breathing program while in the hospital helps older patients recover from a sudden COPD flare-up. It aims to improve your strength and breathing so you can get back to normal activities more quickly.
This trial compares doing pulmonary rehab at home via video calls versus going to a center. It aims to see which way helps people with COPD breathe better and feel healthier.
This study looks at how well a pulmonary rehabilitation program works for people with COPD, which is a lung condition that makes breathing hard. The program focuses on exercise and education to help you breathe easier and improve your daily life.
