First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study tests whether doing lung rehab exercises in underground salt chambers (like a salt mine) helps people with COPD more than standard rehab. 80 adults with stable COPD will be split into four groups: rehab in salt chambers, rehab in a gym, just sitting in salt chambers, or health education only. Researchers will measure exercise ability, breathing, and quality of life right after the program and again three months later.
