Breathing devices for COPD patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two types of breathing exercise devices to see which one helps people with COPD improve their breathing. You will use one of the devices during the study, and your lung function will be measured to see how well it works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 65 years old.
- You have mild to moderate COPD (a lung condition that makes it hard to breathe).
- You are willing to take part and can follow instructions.
- You do not have other serious heart, lung, or brain conditions that could affect your safety.

This study tests two breathing support methods—one using a mask and one using a small device—to see if they help people with severe COPD breathe better. You may join if you are over 40 and have stage 3 or 4 COPD.
This trial tests a portable device that delivers gentle air pressure to help you breathe easier. It is for people with severe COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) who want to see if this device can improve their breathing and daily life.
This trial tests if a breathing device (Breather) can help men with COPD who also have leg pain from blocked leg arteries (intermittent claudication) walk farther without pain. If you have both conditions, this study may offer a new way to improve your walking ability.
This study looks at how different breathing tests (spirometry and impulse oscillometry) and a simple shortness-of-breath scale relate to how well you respond to a quick-relief inhaler (bronchodilator). It aims to improve how we measure treatment effectiveness in people with asthma or COPD.
This study tests how a bronchodilator (a medicine that opens airways) affects breathing and exercise in people with COPD. It aims to understand if it helps you breathe easier during physical activity.
This trial compares two breathing techniques—alternate nostril breathing and bellows breath—to see if they help people with COPD feel better and breathe more easily. You would practice these exercises as part of the study.
