Filter by:Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) with supervised exercise training is a key part of care for patients with chronic lung disease (COPD). Patients can improve their shortness of breath, walking distance and quality of life. However, many patients do not improve their overall fitness. They are too breathless to train at a high enough intensity. In a laboratory training study, patients with COPD improved their overall fitness by using single leg cycling. Despite this knowledge, single leg cycling has not been used clinically. The objective of this project is to use and assess single leg cycling in a clinical setting. Single leg cycling can be incorporated into a clinical service (replacing traditional two legged cycling) as the predominant aerobic training strategy, resulting in improvements in cardio-respiratory fitness (peak oxygen uptake).
The purpose of this study is to further figure out differences of glycopyrronium bromide compared to tiotropium in early bronchodilation measured by a comprehensive assessment of lung function that includes hyperinflation and specific airway resistance in patients with moderate to severe COPD.
To describe Computed Tomography (CT) features associated with severe exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of PUR0200. In addition, the study will look at the blood levels of different doses of PUR0200 and their affect on lung function in COPD patients.
Randomized,double-blind,multicenter,multinational,parallel-group,Phase III study to demonstrate the superiority of the triple fixed combination of Beclometasone+Formoterol+Glycopyrrolate (BDP/FF/GB) administered via pMDI over the equivalent dose of Foster® in COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) patients after 52 weeks of treatment
Preference study: Genuair® (Pressair™) vs Breezhaler® (Neohaler™) inhalers in patients with COPD
The purpose of this study is to determine the triple combination of beclometasone dipropionate+Formoterol fumarate+Glycopyrrolate bromide is effective for the treatment of severe COPD patients (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of aclidinium bromide/formoterol fumarate and salmeterol/fluticasone propionate in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Whole body vibration training seems to be a useful adjunct in exercise training in patients with severe COPD. The basic principle relies on reflectory muscle contractions caused by a vibration stimulus. Until now the impact of whole body vibration training on cardiopulmonary parameters remained unknown. Therefore aim of this study is to investigate cardiopulmonary parameters during whole body vibration training in patients with chronic lung disease.
This project plans on a training intervention by using public spaces and urban walkable trails, adapted to each patient needs and capabilities. Primary objective is to assess 12 months effectiveness of the intervention with respect to: (primary outcome): physical activity level, and (secondary outcomes): COPD admissions, exercise capacity, body composition, quality of life, and mental health.
