Oxygen levels in muscles and brain in COPD patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study measures oxygen levels in your brain and leg muscles during exercise to understand how COPD affects them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 70 years old.
- You have moderate to severe COPD (GOLD stage II or III).
- Your condition has been stable for at least 4 weeks without a flare-up.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 24.9.
- You can safely perform exercise tests like walking or cycling.

This study looks at how breathing muscle tiredness relates to oxygen levels in leg muscles for people with moderate-to-severe COPD. It may help patients understand their condition better.
This study looks at the strength and flexibility of muscles you use to breathe, including muscles in your chest and neck. If you have moderate-to-severe COPD and have been stable on your medications, it may help researchers understand how these muscles are affected.
This study measures how well the right side of your heart works when you are resting and when you exercise, in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It may help researchers better understand COPD-related heart strain and guide future care.
This study looks at how muscle oxygen levels and physical function change during exercise tests in people with COPD. It aims to better understand the body's response to activity and may help improve future care.
This study looks at how brief drops in oxygen levels during sleep affect lung function, health, and survival in people with moderate COPD. Participants will do exercise tests and have their oxygen levels monitored to better understand the disease.
This study looks at how tired your muscles get during a controlled cycling exercise test in people who have COPD, and—if applicable—heart failure at the same time. It may help researchers understand exercise limits and how to better support you with these conditions.
