Nurse video calls may boost oral health in COPD patients
NCT ID NCT07462221
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- 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.
