Exercise for smokers with early lung changes
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if exercise can help smokers or former smokers who have early signs of lung trouble (called PRISm) and may later develop COPD. Participation involves exercise and monitoring to see if it can slow or prevent lung disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are a current or former smoker
- Your breathing test shows your lungs are not as strong as normal but don't yet have COPD
- You are able to walk on your own (no walker or wheelchair needed)
- You are willing to take part and give your consent

This study compares how people with COPD, those with a lung condition called PRISm (Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry), and healthy individuals feel and function. It aims to understand differences in symptoms and daily life.
This study observes how Chinese medicine affects people with COPD or PRISm (a type of lung impairment). By joining, researchers will track your health over time to find better ways to treat breathing problems.
This study tests a combination inhaler medicine in people with early signs of lung function decline and a smoking history. The goal is to see if this three-drug combination can help improve breathing and prevent further lung damage.
This study tests whether a supervised home-based exercise program, delivered via video calls, can help people recovering from a COPD flare-up feel stronger and breathe easier, compared with usual care. If you join, you'll have regular online sessions with a rehab team from home.
This study tests whether doing breathing exercises and aerobic exercise at home can improve lung function in people who smoke or used to smoke. Researchers want to see if this home-based program helps protect lung health and reduces breathing problems.
This study follows people with early COPD patterns (or no lung disease) to understand how COPD starts and progresses over time. You may have breathing tests and possibly CT scans, and some participants may join an added lung procedure (bronchoscopy).
