Effect of Noninvasive Ventilation on Physical Activity and Inflammation in COPD Patients
Parallel, randomized and controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effect of 12 months of noninvasive mechanical ventilation versus conventional treatment in hypercapnic patients with stable COPD. Main objective: To evaluate the effect of 12 months of noninvasive ventilation on c-reactive protein concentration and daily physical activity in hypercapnic patients with …
Biological Effects of Quercetin in COPD Phase II
This study determines whether quercetin supplementation reduces the inflammation and oxidative stress markers in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is small study with 8 subjects receiving quercetin 1000 mg/day, 8 patients receiving 500 mg/day and 4 subjects receive placebo.
Ventilation Distribution in COPD Patients During Breathing Exercises
ELTGOL (Slow Expiration with the Opened Glottis in the Lateral posture) is an airway clearance technique performed in the lateral decubitus position. This technique focuses on optimizing ventilation of the infralateral lung (when the subject is lying in the lateral posture) to enhance local air-liquid interaction. Previous studies on ventilation …
Safety and Efficacy of Endobronchial Valve for Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction Surgery: a Prospective Pilot Study
The goal of this pliot study al is to preliminarily evaluate the effectiveness and safety of transbronchial lung volume reduction surgery using the self-devloped endobronchial valves for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with emphysema phenotype . The main questions it aims to answer are: Does self-devloped endobronchial valves improve the …
Incident Chronic Obstructive pulmoNary dIsease Cohort Study (ICONIC)
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), , secondary to smoking, is a major public health issue with very high direct and indirect costs. The impact on the health system of undiagnosed patients, up to 70% of patients, is increasingly documented. However, systematic spirometry screening remains controversial among smokers in the absence …
Effects of L-arginine and Liposomial Vitamin C on Severe Copd Patients Undergoing Pulmonary Rehabilitation.
The hypothesis that is being tested is that the supplementation of L-arginine plus Vitamin C to multidisciplinary pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in patients with a previous diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic respiratory failure can have a favorable influence on fatigue and on clinical indicators related to endothelial …
Effect of Combined Endurance Training on ADL and Walking in COPD Patients
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 …
Home-based Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
This project aims to assess the short-term effectiveness and responsiveness of a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program (reabilitAR) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is also an aim to establish the minimal clinically important differences for PR in patients with COPD for a novel incremental step test …
Impact of Long-acting Bronchodilator- -Corticoid Inhaled Therapy on Ventilation, Lung Function and Breathlessness
Multicentre, prospective, non-randomised, single-arm, open label, mechanistic study to investigate the mechanism of action of BGF 160 on ventilation pattern complexity and variability
Recognition of Early Pulmonary Structural Changes by Using Real-time High Fidelity Expiratory CO2 Analysis
In this study the investigators aim to detect and characterize structural airway and lung vessel changes due to COPD or ILD as assessed by real-time high fidelity expiratory CO2 analysis. The long-term goal is to detect pulmonary structural changes in a stage, when variables of currently used standard methods (e.g. …
