Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases, Obstructive"

Deficits in postural control are increasingly recognized among the important secondary impairments in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). There are conflicting results regarding the effect of inspiratory muscle training in improvement of inspiratory muscle strength, endurance, and dyspnea in stable COPD patients. The main inspiratory muscle, the diaphragm has also a stabilizing function of the trunk. The aim of this study to enhance postural control of COPD patients with improving the stability of the trunk by using inspiratory muscle training.

The primary purpose of the study is to determine whether lemborexant increases the apnea hypopnea index (AHI) on Day 8 of treatment in adult and elderly participants (adults greater than or equal to [>=] 45 to less than [<] 65 years; elderly >=65 to 90 years) with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) compared with placebo, and using pulse oximetry determine whether lemborexant decreases the peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) during total sleep time (TST) on Day 8 of treatment in adult and elderly participants (adults >=45 to <65 years; elderly >=65 to 90 years) with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) compared with placebo.

The study will evaluate bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of budesonide, glycopyrronium and formoterol (BGF) metered dose inhaler (MDI) formulated with 3 different propellants: Propellant 1 (Treatment A [test]), Propellant 2 (Treatment B [test]) and Hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) (Treatment C [reference]).

Forty five COPD patients will be recruited from Chest Disease Department, Tanta University Hospital, Tanta, Egypt. The aim of the study is to Compare between the effectiveness of three therapeutic options for treatment of moderate and severe COPD patients .These therapeutic options include Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) plus long acting B2-agonist (LABA) combination, Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) plus long acting anticholinergic (LAAC) combination and Long acting B2-agonist (LABA) plus long acting anticholinergic (LAAC) combination .

The purpose of this study is to determine if ensifentrine is safe and effective for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

Objective: This study aimed to assess the effects of an integrated care plan based on an mHealth web-based platform (HappyAir) on adherence to a 1-year maintenance program applied after pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD patients. Methods: COPD patients from three hospitals were randomized to a control group or an intervention group (HappyAir group). Patients from both groups received an 8-week program of pulmonary rehabilitation and educational sessions about their illness. After completion of the process, only the HappyAir group completed an integrated care plan for 10 months, supervised by an mHealth system and therapeutic educator. The control group only underwent the scheduled check-ups. Adherence to the program was rated using a respiratory physiotherapy adherence self-report (CAP FISIO) questionnaire. Other variables analyzed were adherence to physical activity (Morisky-Green Test), quality of life (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Assessment Test, St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire, and EuroQOL-5D), exercise capacity (6-Minute Walk Test), and lung function.

In the literature, it has been observed that there is an increase in respiratory muscle activity in individuals with COPD due to the increase in respiratory workload and in response to the loads given by respiratory muscle training devices. However, no study has been found in the literature comparing the activation of respiratory muscles during constant threshold load endurance test and increasing threshold load endurance test performed with respiratory muscle training devices, which are important for respiratory muscle function evaluation. With this planned study, it is aimed to contribute to the literature by examining the changes in muscle activation during the constant threshold load and increasing threshold load endurance tests where different workloads are given and by comparing these changes.

Patients with COPD and MCI received either inspiratory muscle training or inspiratory plus expiratory muscle training and compared the therapeutic effects

The goal of observational study is to Evaluation of the effectiveness of the self-developed pulmonary lobar ventilation detector in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The main question it aims to answer are:Evaluation of the effectiveness of the self-developed pulmonary lobar ventilation detector. Participants will use the self-developed pulmonary lobar ventilation detector and the imported Chartis detection system to evaluate the target pulmonary lobar collateral ventilation.

The goal of observational study is to evaluation of skeletal muscle function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease before and after lung rehabilitation training using ultrasonic elastography in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The main question it aims to answer are:Evaluation of skeletal muscle function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease before and after lung rehabilitation training using ultrasonic elastography. Participants will undergo pulmonary rehabilitation.
