Filter by:Pulmonary rehabilitation is effective in improving exercise tolerance, dyspnea, and fatigue in patients with COPD, and exercise training is an important component of pulmonary rehabilitation. Vibration training can be used as a supplement or alternative to traditional exercise and is a short, safe rehabilitation training. COPD patients will be recruited and randomly assigned to the control group, whole-body vibration training group, or local vibration training group. The study aims to confirm the rehabilitative benefits of enhancing lower limb muscle strength, exercise endurance, and the quality of life related to COPD in patients.
This study aims to determine if patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) exhibit altered muscle properties (specifically changes in tone and stiffness) in both their respiratory muscles and skeletal muscles when compared to healthy individuals. The study will utilize the Myotonometer, a non-invasive device, to assess these properties.
According to studies in the US and the Netherlands, 33-40% of patients with chronic conditions receive care that does not follow guideline recommendations. These findings have also been demonstrated in the management of COPD. This leads to under- or over-treatment of patients and, in the case of COPD, to exacerbations and hospitalisations. These exacerbations are a significant clinical problem, affecting patient's lung function, quality of life and mortality. They are also a burden on the healthcare system. Technological advances in artificial intelligence offer the opportunity to address these issues in COPD management. In the past year, there have been remarkable innovations in the field of natural language processing, especially through large language models such as GPT-4 from OpenAI and Bard or Gemini from Google. These models offer an opportunity to improve the implementation of evidence-based care in clinical practice. This study is a prospective, randomised trial that will compare therapy on discharge for patients with COPD. One arm will receive no intervention, while the other arm will receive a treatment recommendation from an LLM. The study will compare the percentage of patients treated according to the guideline.
This is a dose escalation trial. The dosing regimen involves a single-dose study. This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic characteristics of TQC3927 powder for inhalation in healthy adults subjects.
This is a parallel design, randomized, controlled pilot trial comparing a controlled breath intervention (REST) to usual care for reducing stress in individuals with COPD.
The main objective of the study is to assess the potential of time-frequency representation and analysis of pulmonary sounds collected with an electronic stethoscope, as part of the routine monitoring of patients with cystic fibrosis, COPD or pulmonary fibrosis.
The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of the interaction of Erythromycin (CYP3A4/5 moderate inhibitor) on the pharmacokinetic of CHF6001 (CYP3A4/5 substrate) in Healthy Volunteers.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can significantly impact a person's quality of life, not only physically but also mentally. This cross-sectional study aims to assess the psychological well-being of COPD patients by utilising specific questionnaires. These questionnaires will evaluate various aspects of mental health, including anxiety, depression, and potentially other relevant factors like self-compassion or fear of negative evaluation, self-efficacy, shame, and guilt. Additionally, the study will examine how these psychological factors relate to the severity of COPD symptoms, such as dyspnea and functional limitations. By understanding the psychological impact of COPD, this research hopes to emphasize the importance of medical education and mental health support in COPD management strategies.
Our research group has found that Canadians with undiagnosed asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have increased respiratory symptoms and worse health-related quality of life. The investigators recently developed and validated an on-line questionnaire to accurately identify these symptomatic, undiagnosed individuals. The investigators will advertise in the community asking individuals to complete the on-line questionnaire at home, at their leisure, to determine if they are at risk of asthma or COPD. Those at risk will be invited to participate in a randomized, controlled clinical trial to determine whether early diagnosis of previously undiagnosed asthma or COPD and subsequent treatment by the primary care practitioner will improve their quality of life.
Both intrinsic positive end expiratory pressure (PEEPi) and dynamic hyperinflation are considered as inspiratory loads which increase work of breathing in patients with COPD. The application of extrinsic positive end expiratory pressure (PEEPe) supplied by CPAP has been claimed to reduce inspiratory load based on change in esophageal pressure which could be significantly affected by change in lung volume and airflow. The investigator hypothesized that CPAP could increase respiratory load because it increases lung volume.
