NCT ID NCT07332169
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation method can improve memory and attention in people with COPD who have thinking problems. Twenty-four adults with stable COPD and mild cognitive issues will receive either real or fake stimulation for 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 3 weeks. Researchers will compare changes in thinking tests and breathing capacity between the two groups.
