Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The hypothesis of this study is that a physiotherapy program added to a medical treatment increase the ventilatory function, the physiques variables, decrease depression and anxiety and improve the quality of life. Additionally, it is going to be assessed the effect of physiotherapy in time using phone calls and visits to the patient's home.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
4% of europeans have been reported to have medical intervention caused by respiratory exacerbation. 20% of these patients are patients with COPD. The mortality of COPD exacerbation is about 14% and 30% if mechanical ventilation is needed.
In order to that, it is very important to improve the quality of life and the recuperation of patients. It is relevant to mention the the high cost associated to this condition.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Medical treatment
29 people are being recruited in order to the inclusion criteria for the study. Placebo controlled.
Medical treatment
Standard medical treatment without physiotherapy.
Physiotherapy program+medical treatment
29 people are recruited in order to the inclusion criteria for the study. Experimental group
Physiotherapy program+medical treatment
Patients included in this group are going to receive physiotherapy during their hospital stay 45 minutes every day. The physical training is based on respiratory exercises, the use of a flutter (positive expiratory pressure), pedaling and theraband exercises.
