NCT ID NCT06998550
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study surveys 384 adults in Türkiye who have completed a pulmonary rehabilitation program for lung conditions like COPD or asthma. Researchers want to learn how satisfied patients are and how the rehab team's structure affects their experience. No new treatment is being tested—this is purely an observational study to gather insights.
