Digital High-Intensity Respiratory Muscle Training on COPD Patients
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
In brief
The goal of this Randomize control trail is to determine the effect of Digital High-Intensity Respiratory Muscle Training on ventilatory Function and Functional Capacity in Patients with COPD It will also learn about the safety and tolerability of this digital training program. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does digital high-intensity respiratory muscle training improve inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength (MIP and MEP)? ,Does it improve functional exercise capacity (6-minute walk distance) and lung function (FEV₁, FVC, FEV₁/FVC)?
