The Effect of Education and Reminder Messages on the Fatigue Level of Individuals With COPD
COPD is an important respiratory system disease that progresses with damage to the airways.Increased mucus secretion and thickening in the airways causes obstruction.This obstruction causes symptoms such as shortness of breath, cough, phlegm and wheezing.The most obvious problem that the emerging symptoms will cause for the patient is fatigue.Coping with …
Chair-based and Standard Exercise Programs in People With COPD
Patients who are diagnosed with COPD by a pulmonology specialist and referred to pulmonary rehabilitation will be included in the study. Cases that meet the inclusion criteria will be randomized and divided into two groups, standard exercise program group (SGr) and chair-based exercise. program group will be called (ChGr). While …
The Effectiveness of Self-Management Education and Telephone Follow-up in Patient with COPD Exacerbation
According to the 2024 GOLD guidelines, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is defined as heterogeneous lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms (dyspnea, cough, sputum production, and/or exacerbations) due to abnormalities of the airways (bronchitis, bronchiolitis) and/or alveoli (emphysema) that cause persistent, often progressive, airflow obstruction. COPD is one of …
Reforça't: A Community, Social, and Healthcare Program for Patients With Cardiorespiratory Conditions Upon Hospital Discharge
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine whether an interdisciplinary, community-based intervention can reduce 30-day hospital readmissions and improve functional outcomes in patients aged 65 or older with chronic cardiac, respiratory, or mixed conditions following hospital discharge. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can the …
Inhaler Trainer Efficacy Study
This will be a randomized, controlled, clinical trial. The investigators aim to determine the feasibility of and efficacy of the Inhaler Trainer Device for ongoing inhaler skill training. The research team will enroll 140 patients from the inpatient or outpatient setting from the University of Chicago Medicine over the course …
Identifying Right Ventricular Dysfunction in COPD Through Right Heart Catheterization, Imaging and Exercise
This study plans to learn more about heart function among individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In particular, the investigators want to understand the different patterns of right ventricular response to pulmonary hypertension (high pressure in the lungs) during rest and exercise. By identifying patterns of right ventricular dysfunction, …
Thermotherapy Against Persistent Bacterial LUNG Infections
The aim of this study is to determine whether an intervention with frequent thermotherapy will be able to reduce the amount of colonizing bacteria in the bronchoalveolar lavage sample and eradicate the colonizing bacteria.
Integrating Palliative Care Education in Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or interstitial lung disease (ILD) imposes enormous daily challenges, especially at advanced stages, not just to patients but also to informal caregivers. Their needs are not fully addressed by disease-modifying treatments. A key strategy to improve their well-being is the early integration of …
Tele-rehabilitation to Maintain Function and Health: COPD Patients on Bike to Paris
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, …
High Flow Nasal Cannula Versus Non-Invasive Ventilation in Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic obstructive lung disease is a disabling disease that affects people usually after several years of smoke tobacco exposure and affects millions of patients worldwide. The disease is marked by multiples episode of worsening, termed exacerbations necessitating frequent hospitalizations. During these exacerbations, patients present breathless, and in the most severe …
