Investigation of the Attitudes of Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Towards Traditional Complementary Medicine Practices
Individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease need the help and support of caregivers in issues such as limitations in their physical and social functions, inadequacy, social isolation, dependency, and continuing their daily lives. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines traditional medicine as knowledge, skills, and practices based on beliefs, experiences, …
Mindful-Breath for People With COPD
Individuals living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often suffer from stress and behavioral risks such as physical inactivity. In an attempt to promote healthy behaviors and overall wellbeing among this particular population, this study aims to develop and evaluate a personalized Mindful-Breath intervention combining telehealth technology and mindfulness for …
Canadian Consortium on Airway Mucus Occlusions in Asthma, COPD and Chronic Cough
Chronic lung diseases affect one in five Canadians, causing symptoms such as cough, breathlessness, and wheeze. Despite advancements in medical care, these conditions not only impact individuals and their close circles but also present substantial clinical and economic challenges at a national level. This grant is dedicated to addressing three …
Effect of IMT in Patients After Acute Exacerbations of COPD
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether home-based inspiratory muscle training can reduce hospital readmissions and death in patients recovering from a severe acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does adding home-based inspiratory muscle training to …
Thermotherapy in Acute Nonspecific Neck Pain
Neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal pain disorders secondary to low back pain. Medical and non-medical treatments such as physiotherapy are applied in its treatment. Patients with nonspecific neck pain (NBA) can be treated with various interventions such as drug therapy, manual therapy, heat and exercise. Although …
Remote Monitoring of COPD Patients Experiencing an Acute Exacerbation Through Health Evaluations Using Wearable Mobile Technology
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) causes about 3 million deaths annually and significantly burdens healthcare systems, costing the EU 38.6 billion euros, largely due to frequent hospitalizations triggered by acute exacerbations (AECOPD). AECOPD worsens patient health, accelerates lung decline, and lowers quality of life, highlighting the need for early detection. …
Respiratory and Cardiovascular Alterations in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms (dyspnoea, cough, sputum production and/or exacerbations) due to abnormalities of the airways (e.g. bronchitis, bronchiolitis) and/or alveoli (emphysema) that lead to persistent, often progressive, airflow obstruction. It is a major cause of disability and death worldwide. …
Multiparametric Home Telemonitoring of Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbation
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations are risk factors for disease progression and short-term re- hospitalizations. We propose a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of a one-device multiparameter telemonitoring in reducing functional decline, symptoms, and risk of re-hospitalization of patients discharged after hospitalization for exacerbated COPD.
The Effects of Positive Airway Pressure on the Mucolytic Effects of NAC (TEAM)
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if positive pressure during inspiration will improve penetration of aerosolized N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) into airway mucus plugs in the lungs of patients with asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does delivery of aerosolized …
Evaluation of 3D Magnetic Resonance Spirometry: Comparison with Spirometry in Healthy Subjects and Patients with Respiratory Pathologies (asthma, COPD, Bilateral Lung Transplant)
Spirometry is now the gold standard technique for assessing lung function in humans. From the shape of a flow-volume curve measured while the patient, trained by the practitioner, performs forced breaths, the forced vital capacity (FVC) and the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) can be deduced and the …
