Can a Fast-Paced presentation style boost COPD Patients' confidence?
NCT ID NCT07482033
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a special training method called Pecha Kucha can help people with COPD who use a breathing machine at home. The training aims to increase patients' confidence in managing their symptoms, reduce how much symptoms bother them, and make daily activities easier. About 60 adults with COPD will be split into two groups to compare the effects of this training versus usual care.
