Home-based vs. in-person lung rehab for COPD patients in remote areas
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares remote (tele-pulmonary) rehab to in-person rehab for people with moderate-to-severe COPD who live far from medical centers. You join from home using a phone or computer, with guided exercises and support.
