Snacktivity for memory and thinking in COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a program of short, frequent activity breaks (called Snacktivity) can help improve thinking and memory in people with COPD and mild cognitive impairment. You'll wear an activity tracker to help you fit these small activity sessions into your day.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (using magnetic pulses on the head, without surgery) can improve thinking and memory in people with COPD who also have cognitive issues. It aims to see if this treatment can help with everyday mental tasks.
This study tests a home-based program that provides education and activity guidance for people with COPD who have been hospitalized in the past year. It aims to help you understand your condition better and stay active safely.
This study uses a smartphone app to check your memory and thinking throughout the day. It may help researchers understand how these change in older adults who are not very active.
This study looks at whether memory and thinking skills affect how well people with COPD use their inhalers. It may help find ways to improve inhaler technique and make treatment more effective.
This study tests whether short bursts of exercise, called 'exercise snacking,' can help improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It may be a simple way to support brain health.
This study tests a mindful breathing program for people with COPD. It aims to help reduce stress and improve breathing. Participants use a smartphone or tablet to take part from home.
