Clinical Trial: Effects of Blood Flow Restriction Aerobic Exercise on Inflammation, Hypoxia, Exercise Capacity, and Lung Function in COPD

U.S., Dec. 4 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07261293) titled 'Effects of Blood Flow Restriction Aerobic Exercise on Inflammation, Hypoxia, Exercise Capacity, and Lung Function in COPD' on Nov. 14.

Brief Summary: Purpose:

This study aims to compare the effects of the classical pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program and blood flow restriction (BFR) applied during low-intensity aerobic exercise within PR on systemic inflammation, hypoxemia, exercise capacity, pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, and quality-of-life parameters in individuals with COPD.

Methods:

This randomized controlled study will include 34 individuals with COPD, allocated into a BFR aerobic group and a control grou...
