Key result
This review summarizes current data on the prevalence of neuropsychiatric disorders in chronic lung disease and the effect of pulmonary rehabilitation on neuropsychiatric symptoms.
Why the study?
Does pulmonary rehabilitation improve neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with chronic lung disease?
Does pulmonary rehabilitation improve neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with chronic lung disease?
This review highlights the importance of assessing and managing neuropsychiatric symptoms in chronic lung disease, particularly through pulmonary rehabilitation.
Pulmonary rehabilitation may alleviate neuropsychiatric symptoms in chronic lung disease; leaves open need for randomized trials to guide practice.
Chronic lung disease is associated with increased psychological distress (especially anxiety and depression) and neuropsychological impairments (primarily in flexible problem-solving and information-sequencing), which decrease quality of life, disease management, and survival. This review summarizes current data regarding the prevalence of neuropsychiatric disorders, the assessment tools commonly used to measure and monitor neuropsychiatric symptoms, the effect of pulmonary rehabilitation on neuropsychiatric symptoms, the mechanisms by which exercise rehabilitation may influence neuropsychiatric functioning, and the clinical implications of the data.
