Digital Breathing Training for COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a digital breathing training program for people with moderate to severe COPD. It aims to help strengthen your breathing muscles using a high-intensity device, which may improve your ability to breathe and feel better day to day.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 65 years old.
- You have moderate to severe COPD (GOLD stages II–IV) and your breathing test results must be above a certain level.
- You have been stable (no recent flare-ups or hospital visits) and can safely do high-intensity breathing exercises.
- You do not have other serious health issues like heart disease, an aneurysm, or severe liver or kidney problems.
- You are not currently using any other breathing muscle training device or app.

This trial tests whether doing a low-intensity breathing and exercise program at home helps people with COPD. It uses a smartphone or tablet to guide you and collect progress information, aiming to improve health and daily functioning.
This study tests whether a special treadmill exercise program (combining two types of muscle contractions) helps people with COPD breathe better and exercise longer. You would come to the lab multiple times per week to do supervised workouts on a treadmill.
This trial tests a smart home breathing guidance system for people with stable COPD. It aims to help improve your ability to exercise and be active using a remote coaching program you can follow at home.
This trial tests whether adding a special breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) to regular breathing exercises helps people with moderate to severe COPD breathe better. It is for adults between 35 and 50 who are otherwise healthy enough to exercise.
This trial tests whether a special breathing muscle training program, done at home with help from a smartphone app, can help you recover better after a hospital stay for a COPD flare-up.
