Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Sept 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
A heterogeneous lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms (dyspnea, cough, expectoration and/or exacerbations) due to abnormalities of the airways (bronchitis, bronchiolitis) and/or alveoli (emphysema)-- cause persistent, often progressive, airflow obstruction. Breathing exercises help to manage dyspnea and reduced pulmonary function often seen in COPD patients. To handle respiratory complications COPD patients are advised to practice breathing techniques in conjunction with their prescribed medications.
