Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) in identifying obstructive lung diseases (OLDs), using pulmonary function tests (PFTs) as the gold standard for comparison.
This is a registry-based, randomized, controlled clinical trial of the effect of added high-flow oxygen therapy (using the device Lumis HFT) during one year in people with long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or interstitial lung disease (ILD).
This randomised controlled trial (RCT) aims to investigate the effect of long-term, interactive home-based cycle-exercise on patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) after a COPD exacerbation requiring hospitalisation. The investigators aim to investigate if patients can maintain or improve the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation in terms of walking distance, intensity of COPD symptoms, health related quality of life and Quality Adjusted Life-Years. Participants will cycle on a pedal-exerciser in the comfort of staying in the participants' own home, whilst getting visual feedback from the 4Mvideo app. The 4Mvideo technology is a Danish designed software system, where users can cycle forward a recording of a cyclist by treading on a pedal-exerciser, thereby getting some of the experience of a real-life cycling trip at home. The investigators will compare the clinical outcomes and daily activity levels with that of a control group consisting of COPD patients.
Respiratory diseases are a common cause of mortality and disability at the worldwide and national levels. Many of them are characterized by underdiagnosis and diagnosis in advanced stages of the disease, and in most of them, forced spirometry is one of the fundamental tools to assess the diagnosis and seriousness of the disease. To help in improving the detection of respiratory diseases and the understanding of the respiratory health of the general population, one possible solution would be to develop a mobile application that could assess respiratory health by using the sound signal of exhaled air recorded by a mobile microphone. This project will aim to validate a mobile application (WebApp) for the detection of pulmonary function disorders. It is planned to recruit 267 subjects, with and without respiratory disease, who are attended in pulmonary function laboratories of 10 Spanish hospitals, to compare the sensitivity of this application in the diagnosis of pulmonary function disorders (either obstructive patterns or PRISm) versus the gold standard (spirometry). Ease of use and user satisfaction with the application will also be assessed.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the correlation between handgrip strength and small airway disease among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The main question it aims to answer is: • Is handgrip strength correlated with small airway disease in COPD patients? Participants will perform handgrip strength test and impulse oscillometry (IOS).
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the relationship between handgrip strength and air trapping in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The main question it aims to answer is: • Is handgrip strength correlated with air trapping in COPD patients? Participants will perform handgrip strength test and lung volume measurement.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of telenursing interventions based on the empowerment model in empowering patients with COPD.
In our study, changes in vastus lateralis muscle oxygenation will be evaluated with the Moxy device, a functional infrared oxygen measurement device, during the inspiratory muscle fatigue protocol in COPD cases and the healthy control group.
Conduct a pilot study (n = 20) to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the MAJOR CHORD music therapy (MT) intervention (i.e., two in-person MT sessions prior to discharge and two virtual MT sessions post-discharge) and collection of patient-reported outcomes through 30 days after hospital discharge. The investigators will uncover any potential modifications that need to be made to the intervention and data collection process prior to initiating the randomized trial.
This is a parallel, double blind, Phase 3, 2-arm study that is designed to provide additional safety information, assess the durability of treatment response, and provide additional PK and immunogenicity assessments. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and tolerability of both itepekimab SC Q2W or itepekimab SC Q4W in participants with COPD having completed the treatment period of the clinical studies EFC16750 or EFC16819. A secondary purpose of this study is to provide efficacy outcomes beyond the treatment period of the parent trials EFC16750 and EFC16819. Study details include: - The study duration will be up to 72 weeks - The treatment duration will be up to 52 weeks - A follow-up period of 20 weeks will be conducted - The number of on-site visits will be 7 and the number of phone contacts will be 5
