This trial tests if adding probiotics (healthy bacteria you take as a supplement) to your regular lung rehab program helps people with COPD breathe better and feel stronger.
This study looks at how inflammation and oxidative stress affect COPD. It tests whether a pulmonary rehabilitation program helps reduce these factors in people with stable COPD who are former smokers.
This trial tests whether increasing omega-3 (from diet and/or supplements) helps people with COPD. It enrolls people with low omega-3 intake and asks them to follow a specific dietary plan during the study.
This study tests whether vitamin C, an antioxidant, can help slow the progression of COPD and improve prognosis. If you qualify, you may take vitamin C and have your lung health monitored over time.
This study tests whether a new approach can help relieve severe shortness of breath in people with COPD who are already on standard inhaler therapy. It may help you breathe easier and improve your daily life.
This study tests whether taking a daily fiber supplement can reduce inflammation in people with COPD (a lung disease that makes breathing harder) and improve their overall health. If you have stable COPD and get a certain amount of fiber from your diet, you may be able to join.
