NCT ID NCT06985628
First seen Mar 03, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This small study tested whether gentle nerve stimulation (using a device on the skin) could help relieve shortness of breath in 8 people with severe COPD. Participants received either real stimulation or a sham (fake) treatment during exercise. The main goal was to see if this approach is practical to study further, not to prove it works.
