First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a 20-minute video call with a nurse, who teaches about oral hygiene, can improve mouth health in people with COPD. Researchers will compare oral health scores and quality of life between a group that gets the video call and a group that does not. The trial aims to enroll 80 adults with COPD who are currently in the hospital.

Active substance

telenursing (oral health education via video call)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could show that remote nursing support helps COPD patients maintain better oral hygiene and quality of life.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is behavioral, so benefits may be modest.
