Inhaler mistakes worsen COPD – new study tests a fix
NCT ID NCT07264140
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a structured program led by a physiotherapist can help people with COPD use their inhalers better. Many patients make mistakes that keep the medicine from reaching the lungs, making symptoms worse. Over 12 months, 116 participants will either get the program or continue with usual care. The goal is to see if the program reduces inhaler errors and improves breathing and quality of life.
