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.
The biomechanical properties of accessory respiratory muscles and peripheral muscles of COPD and healthy subjects will be measured and compared with the MyotonPro device.
The goal of this study is to design eccentric exercise strategies for COPD patients to comprehensively improve their cardiopulmonary/muscular fitness, immune and hemorheological functions, and quality of life, thereby improving the prognosis of their disease.
The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Targeted Lung Denervation (TLD) for COPD patients using the lung denervation radiofrequency ablation device.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung condition affecting 1 in 6 Canadians and does not have a cure. Flare-ups of COPD are the most common reason someone goes to hospital in Canada. This is made worse because within 30-days of having a flare-up, 1 in 5 patients will …
The study will be conducted as a single-center, prospective cohort study. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the responsiveness of sonographic parameters of diaphragm to detect change in Borg score for dyspnea during hospitalisation for AECOPD without respiratory acidosis.
Rationale: New bronchoscopic treatments for emphysema have shown promise in clinical trials, improving lung function, exercise capacity and possibly survival and are now being adopted by a number of centres in the Netherlands. It is important to ensure that the benefits seen in clinical trials are in fact reflected in …
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic disease with related exercise intolerance and marked disability due to symptoms such as dyspnea and fatigue. Effort intolerance and exercise-induced symptoms cause marked impairment in completing activities of daily living (ADL). Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), which has exercise as a major component, is …
Retrospective study aimed to answer the following research questions : What are the predictive properties of the 6-minute stepper in COPD for 2-year mortality in individuals with COPD ? What are the predictive properties of the 6-minute stepper in COPD for 5-year mortality in invididuals with COPD ?
This study is aimed to collect real-time physiological data using two wearable devices (a biometric ring and a biometric wristband), daily lung mechanical measurements by a handheld oscillometer, and participant-reported symptoms in patients with COPD remotely from their home environment. The data will be used to train and validate artificial …
