First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at two types of vibrating devices—one that sends vibrations into the airways and one that vibrates the chest wall—to see if they could help people with COPD breathe better and sleep more soundly during a sudden worsening of their condition. 33 adults with severe COPD took part. The researchers measured breathing, sleep quality, and physical function before and after using the devices.
