Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

COPD patients often suffer from dyspnea and exercise intolerance which lower their quality of life.The aim of this proposed study is to examine the effectiveness of multi-respiratory muscle training on respiratory function of COPD patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The respiratory muscle training is an important part of pulmonary rehabilitation. Subjects will be recruited from the chest medicine clinic of a medical center in Northern Taiwan, randomly assigned to control and experimental groups by severity status for a 12-week muscle training intervention.The outcome measures will be performed to evaluate respiratory function, depression status and quality of life at baseline, 4, 8 and 12 weeks of training.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Multi-respiratory muscle training

Patients will perform multi-repiratory muscle training programe for 12 weeks

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Multi-respiratory muscle training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patients will be taught the diaphragmatic breathing technique at the same time also will be instructed a four-item (including upper-arm weighted exercise, body side-bends, modified sit-ups, body crunching) multi-respiratory muscle training motions. To practice three times/day, three days a week lasting 12 weeks at home.

Diaphragmatic breathing

Patients will be taught diaphragmatic breathing technique routinely. To practice at home lasting 12 weeks

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
