Improving sleep in COPD patients with nurse-led inhaler education
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether teaching you how to use your inhaler better can improve your sleep. If you have COPD and use inhalers, a nurse will help you with your inhaler technique and see if it helps you sleep more soundly.
