Filter by:The purpose of this study is evaluate the effects and safety of Traditional Chinese medicine for prevention and management of mild/moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The aim of the study is to investigate whether the early introduction of maintenance bronchodilator therapy during an acute symptomatic episode of the disease shows benefits on the recovery of symptoms. It also represents an opportunity to identify COPD patients earlier in their disease state and start maintenance therapy, if appropriate.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of Targeted Lung Denervation Therapy (or TLD TherapyTM) in patients suffering from COPD. Technical feasibility of the IPS SystemTM will also be evaluated through confirmation of successful application of TLD Therapy.
The purpose of this study is to compare the exercise capacity and pulmonary function test parameters of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients who underwent usual care with and without pulmonary daoyin therapy of China in community.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) determines an important risk of disability and disease-related need of care. Selected interventions were able to reduce the number and the severity of exacerbations. Telemedicine has also been proposed for this purpose. Current evidences, however, are scant. The investigators present a randomized, parallel-group trial of a multiparametric remote monitoring system to test its ability to improve early exacerbation detection rates and impact on clinical outcomes.
A Malaysian company by name Formedic Technologies SDN BHD has devised a hand held machine which is supposed to mimic the chest percussion performed by professional physiotherapist to mobilize sputum through the respiratory passage. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of this mechanical percussion device in the treatment of airway clearance with conventional chest physiotherapy carried out by qualified physiotherapists in patients suffering from bronchiectasis or Chronic obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD).
In this study the possible changes in airway geometry and function induced by 6 month oral treatment with Daxas® (roflumilast) will be evaluated. The use of functional respiratory imaging (FRI) on the phenotyping of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients will be examined. The study population consists of 40 severe COPD patients, global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease (GOLD) stages III until IV. Imaging parameters will be assessed and the correlation with lung function and health related quality of life will be checked before and after treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether different types of breathing therapies in patients with COPD III-IV decrease dyspnea and increase activity.
RV568 is being developed as a possible treatment of diseases such as smoking related lung disease (also known as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - COPD) and asthma. The main purpose of this study is to examine the safety of RV568 in COPD patients. Two dose strengths of RV568 and a placebo will be tested in this study, which will be given by inhaling a liquid suspension from a nebuliser once a day for 2 weeks.
The aim of the study is to compare patients' satisfaction from the use of three different inhalation devices by using the FSI-10 questionnaire
