Digital Follow-up Program for People with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Primary Healthcare
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), characterized by non-reversible airflow obstruction, contributes to high mortality and morbidity rates worldwide, including Norway. Individuals with COPD experience symptoms and complications that impede daily activities and diminish their quality of life. COPD places a growing burden on healthcare systems presently and in the future. …
Pulmonary Rehabilitation for Rural Patients With COPD
The purpose of this study is to test the uptake, effectiveness, and patient-caregiver-provider experience of a crucial treatment not provided in rural areas: pulmonary rehabilitation.
Additional Effects of Box Breathing Technique With Short Term Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Dyspnea and Functional Capacity in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is progressive and irreversible respiratory condition characterized by persistent airflow limitation leading to dyspnea and reduced functional capacity. Pulmonary rehabilitation along with different technqiues of breathing exercises reduces dyspnea and enhance functional capacity by improving ventilatory efficiency, respiratory muscle control and overall exercise tolerance in patients …
Comparative Effects of Pilates Breathing and Pursed Lip Breathing on Chest Expension and Peak Expiratory Flow Rate in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a particular type of irreversible disease that may damage or obstruct airways and make it difficult to breath. This respiratiry condition may lead to shallow breathing. Breathing exercisers help to manage hyperventilation often seen in COPD patients. To handle respiratory complications patients are advised to …
Reducing the Number of Hospital Admissions With Multiple Nursing Interventions in COPD Patients Using Oxygen Concentrators at Home
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease characterized by persistent airflow obstruction and chronic respiratory symptoms or alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency in response to inhaled cigarette smoke or other irritants. The excessive morbidity and mortality associated with COPD acute exacerbations represent a significant public health problem that places a …
Trial to Determine Effective Aspirin Dose in COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Current treatments for COPD focus on inhaler therapies that do not address manifestations of the disease on other organ systems. Platelets, which are small blood cells that typically help with clotting, are also involved …
OMEGA - Dietary Intervention - COPD Trial
A randomized controlled trial of a food delivery dietary intervention targeting increased omega-3 intake to determine whether dietary modifications can improve Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) outcomes and attenuate the adverse effects of particulate matter on respiratory health. Investigators believe that study results will comprehensively address the impact of an …
The London COPD Exacerbation Cohort
The London COPD exacerbation (EXCEL) cohort builds on an established cohort started in 1995 and designed to study COPD exacerbations and their impact on health-status and disease progression.
Targeted Nutrient Supplement in COPD (NUTRECOVER-trial)
The overall objective is to investigate the efficacy of targeted nutrient supplementation on daily physical activity level as well as generic health status in patients with COPD. Additionally the investigators aim to investigate the relative effect of targeted nutrient supplementation on the recovery after hospitalization for a COPD exacerbation. The …
Investigation of Walking Training With Different Slope Types in COPD Patients
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease that continues to generate a great deal of research and this research must continue, both because it is not completely curable and because of the large patient population. The importance and benefits of exercise training in COPD patients are clear. One of …
