What this Trial Is About
COPD is one of the most life-threatening pulmonary diseases. According to the World Health Organization, it is expected to rise to the third leading cause of death by 2030. Smoking is the most significant contributing factor. COPD reduces lung volumes and causes dyspnea. Over time, respiratory muscle weakness develops, leading to hypercapnia, dyspnea, nocturnal oxygen desaturation, and decreased exercise performance. Pulmonary rehabilitation is the most important component of COPD treatment. Respiratory muscle training should be a mandatory component of the pulmonary rehabilitation program. Combining inspiratory muscle training with functional exercises allows the focus to be on respiratory muscle functions beyond the task of breathing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Functional Inspiratory Muscle Training on the course of the disease.
