A Home-based Intervention to Promote Mindful Breathing Awareness Through Pursed-lip Breathing Training for COPD Patients

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 6 Jun 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The Mindful Breathing Laboratory under the direction of Dr. Benzo will complete a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the mindful breathing module. This rigorous study will evaluate home-based PR system compared to the home-based PR system plus mindful breathing module for its effects on breathlessness and emotions. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will decrease breathlessness while increasing emotional perception, emotional intelligence, and mindfulness.
