Breathing exercises for COPD patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a COPD diagnosis (chronic lung disease).
- You are over 10 years old.
- Your COPD is stable (no recent flare-ups).
- You can understand and perform breathing exercises.
