NCT ID NCT05930158

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

Summary

This study looked at whether adding a mental task (like counting or word games) to standard exercise helps people with COPD improve their physical and mental abilities. 42 participants were split into two groups: one did standard pulmonary rehab, the other added cognitive tasks during walking and cycling. The goal was to see if dual-task training leads to better outcomes in daily life.
