Digital breathing muscle training for COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a digital program that strengthens the muscles used for breathing in people with moderate to severe COPD. It may help improve breathing and daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have COPD that is moderate to severe (GOLD stage II-IV).
- You are between 50 and 65 years old.
- Your breathing test (FEV1) is above 80% of what is expected for your age and height.
- You are able to do high-intensity breathing exercises using a device.
- You have been stable, with no recent flare-ups of your COPD.
