Running, not enrolling
Conditions studied: COPD
In brief
INHALE is a one-year, multi-site observational research study funded by Viatris, with two aims: 1. Determine the prevalence of both cognitive impairment and impaired manual dexterity in stable out-patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 2. Assess the relationship of cognitive impairment and impaired manual dexterity with patient errors using current pMDIs, SMIs and/or DPIs.
