This study assesses symptom burden in COPD patients following home-based pulmonary rehabilitation, highlighting its potential benefits.
Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive respiratory condition characterized by persistent airflow limitation, resulting in significant symptoms, particularly dyspnea, fatigue, and reduced exercise capacity. The symptoms negatively impact patients’ quality of life and daily activities. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an established intervention for reducing symptom burden; however, traditional center-based programs frequently experience underutilization. Home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (HPR) offers a feasible option, particularly in settings with limited resources. Objective: This study aims to assess the symptom burden in patients with COPD who have undergone a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program.
