ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) feel about using traditional and complementary medicine practices alongside their regular treatment. These practices, which vary by culture, include things like herbal remedies, relaxation techniques, and other natural methods that some people use to help improve their breathing, boost their immune system, or feel better mentally. The study aims to understand how common these alternative treatments are among COPD patients and what their thoughts and attitudes toward them might be.

If you have COPD, are 18 years or older, and can communicate with the study team, you might be eligible to take part. Participants will be asked about their experiences and opinions regarding these traditional medicine methods. This study is not yet recruiting, but it hopes to gather important information that could help healthcare providers better support people living with COPD by understanding their use of and feelings about complementary treatments.
