Assessing quality of life in people with COPD in Nepal
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how COPD affects quality of life in Nepal, and uses a simple questionnaire (COPD Assessment Test) along with a breathing test to measure symptoms. It may help to understand and improve care for your COPD.
