Summary
This study looks at whether a low or high dose of alpha-lipoic acid (an antioxidant) can help people recover faster from a sudden worsening of COPD. 75 adults with frequent COPD flare-ups will receive either a placebo, 600 mg, or 1200 mg of alpha-lipoic acid daily for 10 days, alongside standard care. Researchers will measure inflammation, oxygen levels, and how quickly patients get better.
