Filter by:This is a phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TQC3721 Suspension for Inhalation in patients with moderate to severe Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The primary aim of this randomised controlled trial is to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of low-intensity exercise with blood flow restriction (BFR) in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD). The investigators will also collect functional and physiological outcome data to explore potential mechanisms and provide data for a power calculation to be used in a future randomised controlled trial (RCT) to ensure that subsequent full scale clinical RCT has maximum reach and benefit. The primary experimental hypothesis that underpins these aims is: • Low-intensity exercise with BFR is a tolerable, acceptable, and safe exercise modality in COPD patients. 40 patients attending clinics at University Hospitals of Leicester (UHL) National Health Service (NHS) Trust with diagnosed COPD will be randomly allocated to a home-based body weight exercise intervention either with or without the blood flow restriction (n=20 in each group). The body weight exercise will consist of five body weight exercises including: sitting knee extensions, standing knee raise, heel-toe raises, bilateral mini-squat behind a chair, and chair rise/sit to stand. In addition to the pre and post intervention visits, the initial two training sessions for both groups will be directly supervised in the research centre. These sessions are to ensure all exercises are performed correctly and safely and the patient become familiar with the exercises and BFR equipment and mobile application, which provides exercise guidance and session recording.
This study is an observational study investigating the mechanisms of balance problems in people with COPD and how COPD impacts them living their daily lives. The main objectives of this study are: - To quantify the relationship between balance and aspects of neuromuscular function in individuals with COPD, and compared to age-matched healthy controls - To understand the lived experience of people with COPD and their carers Participants will attend an appointment at the University rehab lab to: - Complete a balance test - Fill out some questionnaires on mood, health status and balance and falls - Complete some walking tests - Have their body composition measured - Have the function and strength of their leg nerves and muscles tested Researchers will compare people with COPD and healthy controls (older adults without COPD or other conditions known to impact balance) to see if any of the things measured are impacting the balance of people with COPD more than their peers without COPD. - For 10 people with COPD only they will be visited at home to observe how they carry out everyday tasks and 5 of those 10 will have a follow up interview. Researchers will take notes and record interviews and look for similarities and interesting points in the notes and transcripts of the interviews to build a picture of what living with COPD is like.
Respiratory disease affects one in five people and is a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. Chronic obstructive airways diseases encompass conditions characterised by expiratory airflow limitation, exertional dyspnoea, activity limitation and impaired quality of life. The most common conditions include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia. In recent years, there has been concerted effort in the scientific and respiratory medicine community to improve the diagnosis and management of chronic obstructive airways diseases using personalised or precision medicine (i.e., tailoring therapies and interventions according to specific "treatable traits") and identifying phenotypes or endotypes using validated biomarkers. To date, however, research in this setting has primarily focussed on people with COPD and asthma, with limited studies in other forms of chronic obstructive airways diseases. The aim of this study is therefore two-fold; first, to compare pulmonary physiology (i.e., large and small airway involvement) and extra-pulmonary manifestations across the spectrum of chronic obstructive airways, and second, to determine how disease-specific treatable traits associate with physical activity and health-related quality of life.
The aim of the study will be to verify whether the addition of an exercise program aimed to improve balance can reduce the risk of falling in subjects with COPD over 80 years of age compared to the standard rehabilitation program. Patients will be randomly assigned in two groups (intervention and control). The pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program is organized in accordance with current guidelines.
The IPCRG & Teesside University have searched the internet for video self management content for people living with COPD. Resources were reviewed by healthcare professionals and developed into a digital magazine to support people living with chronic obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The aims of this study are to 1. evaluate the use of the digital magazine format with video self-management content from an end user perspective, including 1. what characteristics a good video resource should have 2. what information is important to people with COPD to include in videos and digital magazines, 3. the useability of a digital magazine format 2. Explore the opinions, experiences and preferences of people living with COPD for accessing online self-management content including barriers and facilitators for accessing online self-management video content
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.
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.
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.
