This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week remote group rehabilitation program, done via video calls and a smartphone app, can help COPD patients living in remote areas start and stick with rehab. It compares this approach to standard in-person rehab. The goal is to see if the remote option improves access, reduces symptoms, and boosts quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Tele-rehabilitation program (remote group exercise and breathing sessions via app)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical way for COPD patients in remote areas to access pulmonary rehabilitation from home, improving their breathing, quality of life, and reducing hospital visits.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage feasibility study. The remote format may not work for everyone, and results may not apply to all COPD patients. There is also a risk of technical issues or lack of personal supervision.
