Pulmonary rehab for women with COPD from cooking smoke
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special breathing and exercise program can help women whose COPD got worse after years of breathing smoke from cooking fires. It focuses on women who never smoked but used biomass fuels like wood or dung for cooking and heating.
