Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases, Obstructive"

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization applied to the hamstring muscle on respiratory function in patients with COPDThe patients to be included in the study will be divided into two groups by simple randomization. A group will be given breathing exercises (pursed lip breathing, diaphragmatic breathing and thoracic expansion exercises) as a home program. The other group will be given breathing exercises in the form of a home program in addition to 1 session of EDYM per week. Both groups will be evaluated before and 4 weeks after treatment.

This study examines the implications of providing remote physician care to home hospitalized patients compared to usual home hospital care with in-person/in-home physician visits.

This study compares the cardiac safety of inhaled indacaterol with that of placebo and oral moxifloxacin.

The purpose of this study is to determine if fluticasone furoate/vilanterol improves survival in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with a history of or increased risk of heart disease.

The purpose of the present study is to determine the effects on health status and spirometric values of Foster® 100/6 (two puffs b.i.d.) versus Seretide® 500/50 (one inhalation b.i.d.), over a 12-week treatment period in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients.

The purpose of this study is to further characterize the dose response of GSK573719 at doses of 15.6 micrograms (mcg) to 125 mcg once daily in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Treatment with doses of GSK573719 dosed twice daily will also be included to further evaluate dosing frequency. Treatment with tiotropium (18 mcg) once daily via the Handihaler will be included as an active control. A placebo treatment will be included in order to evaluate absolute treatment effect of the different doses of GSK573719.

Given the importance of the correct use of inhalers by patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) for the appropriate treatment of the disease, the self-care programme which will be assessed will consist of an educational intervention on the correct use of inhalers. For this aim, we have designed this study to assess the influence of both individualized and collective self care programmes about the correct use of inhalers improves the functional state of patients with COPD compared to when there is no educational intervention.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of progressive resistance strength training (PRT) in elderly hospitalised patients. The hypothesis is that PRT given as an additional training would improve the rehabilitation and increase the level of activity of daily living.

The study assessed the safety and efficacy of the fixed combination product QVA149 versus the component products QAB149 and NVA237, administered concurrently, in patients that have moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

PH-797804 is an oral ant-inflammatory drug that may reduce the inflammation that is associated with COPD. PH-797804 will be dosed to patients with COPD to evaluate its potential safety and efficacy profile in COPD.
