Whole body vibration for healthy adults and COPD patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if a vibrating platform can help people with COPD and healthy adults. You stand on a machine that gently vibrates to improve muscle function and breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- For healthy adults: aged 18 to 65, no experience with vibration therapy, and not a regular exerciser (3+ times a week)
- For people with COPD: aged 18 or older, diagnosed with stage II–IV COPD, no hospitalization or rehab in the last 2 months
- No pregnancy, heart disease, pacemaker, recent wounds, hip/knee implants, hernia, severe diabetes, epilepsy, recent infection, migraine, tumor, metal implants, kidney stones, or organ failure
- For COPD group: no severe lung diseases like asthma or TB, not a current smoker, no dependence on oxygen, no heavy drinking, and BMI 19 or higher

This study looks at how whole-body vibration may affect health in adults. You may be asked to use the vibration device while researchers measure possible benefits and safety.
This study tests whether whole-body electrical stimulation (light electrical pulses sent through pads on your skin) can help people with severe COPD feel better and move more easily. It is for people with advanced COPD who can still walk.
This study tests whether whole body vibration therapy can help people with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar better. It involves standing on a vibrating platform for short sessions, which may improve muscle function and glucose control without needing exercise.
This study tests whether whole-body vibration training can help older adults who have both severe knee arthritis and obesity. It aims to improve strength, mobility, and quality of life.
This study tests if doing whole-body vibration exercises at home can help reduce knee pain from arthritis. You stand on a gently vibrating platform for short periods over several weeks.
This trial tests if different types of vibration exercises can help people with COPD (a chronic lung disease). It may be a good fit if you have severe COPD or have had recent flare-ups, are not already exercising regularly, and are willing to try a new therapy.
