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 trial tests a triple combination inhaler (anti-inflammatory plus two bronchodilators) to see if it can improve lung function in people who are showing early signs of chronic lung damage. It might help if you are a smoker with breathing symptoms and your test shows slightly reduced lung function.
This study is looking at how Chinese medicine can help people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or a related condition called PRISm, where lung function is impaired but not exactly COPD. By joining, you'll help researchers learn more about these conditions and possibly find better ways to treat them.
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 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).
This study follows people who currently smoke and people who may have newly found COPD (chronic obstructive lung disease) based on breathing test results. It aims to better understand lung disease in real life and what it means for health over time.
