Filter by:People with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) often develop high blood pressure and heart disease due to their sedentary lifestyle and difficulty exercising. The investigators will test if heating can mimic the health benefits of exercise by monitoring the increase in leg blood-flow using ultrasound during a 45-minute hot-water footbath. The patients will then undergo 6-weeks of hot-water footbaths to examine whether the changes to blood-flow lead to improvements in blood pressure and other indicators of heart disease risk.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to study the effect of an individual counseling session on the level of physical activity and motivation to practice physical exercise in individuals with COPD. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • Does a counseling session improve the level of physical activity and motivation to practice physical exercise in individuals with COPD? Participants will perform a respiratory rehabilitation program (Control Group, CG) and a respiratory rehabilitation program and the counseling session (Experimental Group, EG). Researchers will compare EG to CG to see if there is any difference in physical activity level and motivation to exercise between groups.
This is a 12 month study of up to 500 people with COPD to determine if the NuvoAir clinical service leads to lower rates of severe COPD exacerbations, hospitalizations, emergency room visits, and total cost of care compared to a similar group that doesn't receive care from the NuvoAir clinical service.
The aim of this physiologic research is to assess lung volumes variations under NIV in stable COPD patients to understand the impact of "high-intensity" ventilation following the current recommendations. The main objective is to evaluate the variation of End-expiratory lung volume (EELV) reflecting the functional residual capacity (FRC), via the End-tidal lung impedance (EELI) obtained by electrical impedance tomography during a 20 minutes NIV session.
This is an observational, prospective, multicentric, cohort study conducted in France to evaluate the QoL in COPD patients treated with TRIMBOW NEXThaler 88/5/9 in a routine clinical practice setting. Patients enrolled in this study will be patients diagnosed with a COPD with a ratio of post-bronchodilator (salbutamol 400 μg) forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) to forced vital capacity (FVC) of less than 0.7 to whom TRIMBOW NEXThaler 88/5/9 has been initiated by an hospital or local pulmonologists in accordance with clinical practice and marketing authorization.
Comparative effects of Butyeko breathing technique and Active Cycle of Breathing technique on dyspnea and quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, preventable and treatable disease. The aim of prospective randomized study is to evaluate the effects of TCM Daoyin training on Individuals at-risk for COPD.
Evaluate the effect of the use of elastic tape in chest wall and abdomen in the physical capacity, psychosocial distress levels, quality of life and anxiety, and depression symptoms of individuals with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation.
Chronic dyspnea is the most characteristic symptom of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), with intermittent increases during exercise and other events.Despite optimal standard therapy, episodic dyspnea is a common occurrence in COPD. Recently, the PEP buddy was developed which is an easy-to use, hands-free device that generates positive expiratory pressure (PEP). Although currently the available evidence is limited, it indicates that utilizing the PEP-buddy can result in enhancements in dyspnea during exertion, exertional desaturation and overall quality of life. More research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of this device and the long term usability, as well as getting more insight in the mechanism of action. Therefore, the aim of our study is to explore the potential of this device for patients with COPD and episodic breathlessness.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of dual-task performance on motor and cognitive functions and to determine the effect of dual-task exercises given together with the pulmonary rehabilitation program on cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal parameters in COPD. The main question[s]it aims to answer are: - Is dual-task performance in individuals with COPD different from healthy individuals? - Are dual-task exercises affect cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal parameters in individuals with COPD? Patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups (Pulmonary Rehabilitation Group, Dual Task Exercises Group). 8-week exercise program will include pulmonary rehabilitation and dual-task exercise group will do their walking and cycling exercises as dual task with another cognitive exercise. Researchers also will compare (Pulmonary Rehabilitation Group, Dual Task Exercises Group) to see if there is a difference in cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal parameters. Researchers also will compare [COPD patients and Healthy Controls] to see if there is a difference in dual-task performance.
