This trial tests if people with COPD can use a home monitoring system after a flare-up to help doctors track their recovery. It aims to reduce hospital visits and improve care.
This trial tests whether a long-term home exercise program helps people with COPD recover better after a hospital stay for a flare-up. You would exercise at home and may join rehabilitation to improve your breathing and daily life.
This trial tests whether a special breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) can improve how your muscles work and your body's automatic responses, like heart rate. It's a one-time session for people with stable COPD.
This trial tests a digital breathing training program for people with moderate to severe COPD. It aims to help strengthen your breathing muscles using a high-intensity device, which may improve your ability to breathe and feel better day to day.
This study tests whether special exercises to strengthen your breathing muscles can improve how well your diaphragm (the main muscle you use to breathe) works in people with moderate COPD. The goal is to help you breathe more easily and improve your lung function.
