Tiny fentanyl dose tested to help COPD patients breathe easier
NCT ID NCT04004117
Summary
This study aimed to see if a very small dose of fentanyl, placed under the tongue, could help people with severe COPD breathe easier during exercise. It involved 40 patients who were already taking morphine for their breathlessness but still struggled. The trial was designed to compare the effects of this fentanyl dose against a placebo to measure changes in exercise endurance and breathlessness intensity.
