Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study compares two relaxation methods in adults with moderate to severe COPD. Participants will be assigned to either Laura Mitchell's physiological relaxation technique or Benson's relaxation response to assess changes in anxiety, sleep quality, and fatigue. The study uses non-pharmacologic, simple techniques that can be performed without specialized equipment, aiming to identify which method provides greater psychological and fatigue-related benefits. Outcomes will inform non-drug approaches to improving quality of life for COPD patients. The trial is conducted at Gulab Devi Hospital in Lahore, with Riphah International University as the lead sponsor.
