Filter by:There is a lack of effective treatments for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) complicated with pulmonary hypertension. Previous studies have found that inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) can reduce pulmonary artery pressure and improve exercise capacity in COPD with pulmonary hypertension patients. However, the specific mechanism is unclear. The study aims to evaluate pulmonary ventilation/perfusion, pulmonary artery pressure, oxygenation, symptoms and quality of life in COPD with pulmonary hypertension patients after short-term treatment with iNO. Observing a series of pathophysiological changes caused by the treatment of pulmonary hypertension with iNO in COPD, the investigators hope to provide new theoretical basis and research ideas.
The goal of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of a larger study on the efficacy of mycophenolate mofetil in people diagnosed with systemic sclerosis with mild lung involvement. Participants will be recruited over 12 months at 3 academic centers and assigned randomly to receive either mycophenolate mofetil or placebo, a look-alike substance that contains no active drug, for 96 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to compare AI performance to doctor's performance in the evaluation of IPF/UIP and ILDs without UIP(proven by biopsy).
Our study aiming for determining the combined effect of selective manual therapy techniques in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients
The purpose the study is to successfully characterize the recovery phase of acute exacerbations of COPD in the outpatient setting using remotely captured physiologic data from wearable devices, to compare this with patient self-reported symptom data, to determine which physiologic variable(s) best correspond with AECOPD recovery, and to further document the feasibility, data quantity, data quality, and COPD outpatient usability experience with wearable devices.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate exercise strategies that motivate and relive stress in adults with cardiopulomnary conditions. The goals of this study are as follows: - To explore the feasibility (how easily it can be done) of using self-selected music during exercise training for adults with cardiopulmonary conditions. - To assess patient satisfaction of self-selected music with exercise for adults with cardiopulmonary conditions. - To explore the immediate effects of self-selected music on mood and symptoms (shortness of breath and fatigue) compared with listening to a podcast during their exercise training session Participants will: - Select 5-7 songs and 1 podcast to listen to during their treatment session - Walk on the treadmill while either listening to a podcast or music - Fill out surveys about their mood, symptoms (shortness of breath and fatigue), music/podcast, and exercise
Study GMS-PH-001 is a multicenter, open-label, non-randomized study to prospectively evaluate screening strategies of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD).
This will be a randomized controlled trial Patients will be divided into two groups randomly. Both groups will receive postural drainage as baseline treatment thrice a week for two weeks. The intervention group will undergo additional Aerobic Training thrice a week for two weeks as well along with postural drainage. Aerobic training will include a 5-step stair-climbing and a 10-step walk during each session. Data will be collected before and at the end of two weeks. Respiratory Rate, Pulse Oximeter, 10-meter Endurance walk test, and Pediatric Cough Questionnaire will be used to collect data pre and post-treatment. Data will be analyzed by use of SPSS Version 2010. Data will be presented in the form of mean and standard deviation.
The primary aim of our study is to examine the relationship between balance and respiratory function, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, functional capacity, and cognitive function in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The secondary aim of our study is to compare respiratory function, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, functional capacity, balance, and cognitive functions of COPD patients and healthy individuals. This study will examine and record the participant's sociodemographic information and medical records. Balance, respiratory function, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, functional capacity, and cognitive function will be assessed. Since the patients are included in this study, no intervention will be made, no additional tests will be performed, or no changes will be made in the routine treatments of the patients during the study.
Study design: A prospective cohort study with a longitudinal design, with several parameters measured serially at baseline and at pre-specified time points during three to five years of clinical observation. Primary objective: To validate quantitative analysis of lung sounds as a marker of disease progression in a cohort of patients with Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) via correlation with the extent of fibrosis on HRCT, measured both via visual scoring and quantitative CT assessment, and other validated parameters of disease progression such as FVC, tolerance to exercise and patient-related outcomes (symptoms and quality of life). Secondary objectives: To determine the prognostic value of quantitative analysis of lung sounds and a series of novel putative biological markers, obtained from peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage, toward poor outcomes (death, categorical decline of % predicted FVC >10%, acute exacerbation or respiratory-related hospitalisations) as compared to more conventional clinical, physiology and radiologic measurements.
