Brief Summary

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

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic condition involving an impairment in functionality and in the execution of activities of daily life. The hypothesis of this study is that an occupational therapy intervention added to a physiotherapy program and a medical treatment increase the functionality and the quality of life of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Detailed Description

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

The evolution of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can be aggravated in some periods by an increase of the symptoms (above all, the cough, the dyspnea and the quantity of sputum purulence). This is known as exacerbation, and it is the most frequent reason for hospital stay, urgences services and death in this condition. A physiotherapy program and an occupational therapy intervention are carrying out in patients attending to the Hospital because of an exacerbation.. Participants will be assessed at baseline and again at the end of the study.

Study Groups

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

Occupational therapy group

35 patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease attending to the Hospital because of an exacerbation are going to be included in this group.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Occupational therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients included in this group are going to receive an occupational therapy intervention 3 sessions after hospital discharge. The intervention is based on energy conservation techniques improving the execution of the activities of daily living.

Control group

35 patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are going to be included in this group. They are not going to receive other than standard care (medical and physical therapy intervention).

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
