Effects of Eccentric Exercise Training in Patients With COPD
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.
Evaluation of Safety and Effectiveness of TLD Radiofrequency Ablation in the Treatment of COPD
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.
Effect of Rehabilitation at Moderate Altitude on Airway Resistance Measured With Forced Oscillation Technique in COPD-patients
Airway resistance will be measured using the forced oscillation technique (FOT). The parameters Rrs, Xrs, and ∆Xrs will be compared before and after a pulmonary rehabilitation cycle at moderate altitude. Additionally, the differences between low and moderate altitude will also be examined.
Motivational Enhancement Therapy's Impact on d COPD Outcomes in Geriatric Patient
Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) is a systematic intervention that focuses on eliciting and strengthening a person's intrinsic motivation to change. MET is rooted in motivational interviewing principles, emphasizing empathy, autonomy, and the evocation of the patient's own motivations for change. The therapy typically involves several sessions where therapists help patients …
Health Coaching Telemedicine Program for Lung Transplant Candidates With End-stage Lung Disease.
Lung transplantation has become standard of care for selected patients with end stage pulmonary disease. While on the lung transplantation waiting list, patient health, emotional wellbeing and quality of life can deteriorate. By improving or changing patient physical activity, healthy nutrition, tobacco cessation, patient preparation for lung transplantation can be …
Live Vaccines and Innate Immune Training in COPD.
A randomized, single-blinded clinical pilot study to assess whether vaccination with live attenuated vaccines can induce trained immunity and cause beneficial changes in patients with COPD.
Effectiveness of Harmonica Playing in Improving Lung Function Among COPD Patients
Although it has been documented that harmonica playing plays a role in the pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), current studies are limited by small sample sizes, uncomprehensive outcome indicators, and short intervention durations. Thus, the investigators aim to compare the harmonica combination group with …
"The Effect of Inhaled Nitroglycerin for COPD Patients
this study aims to investigative the benefits of using nebulized nitroglycerin in improving respiratory functions in patients of late stage COPD
Using Large Language Models Such As GPT-4 to Assess Guideline Adherence in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
According to studies in the US and the Netherlands, 33-40% of patients with chronic conditions receive care that does not follow guideline recommendations. These findings have also been demonstrated in the management of COPD. This leads to under- or over-treatment of patients and, in the case of COPD, to exacerbations …
Photon-counting CT in Chest Imaging
Purpose and objective: This project aims to evaluate photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) quantitative accuracy using COPDGene subjects. The goal is to establish acquisition protocols for PCCT scans with proper post-processing (e.g., reconstruction parameters and harmonization techniques) that enable reproducible measurements of emphysema metrics (e.g., Perc15, LAA-950, HU accuracy) and airways …
