Effect of Liuzijue on pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: study protocol for a multicenter, non-randomized, prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Traditional Chinese exercise as a new pulmonary rehabilitation technique has been increasingly used and achieved good results in pulmonary rehabilitation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this study is to investigate the protective effects of Liuzijue on exercise tolerance, lung function, and quality of life in patients with COPD.

Methods

This study is a multicenter, non-randomized, prospective study. Patients will be divided into a control group (CG) and a Liuzijue group (LG) based on their willingness to learn Liuzijue. None of the outcome assessors will know the grouping of patients. Participants in this study will be collected from stable COPD patients who are outpatients or inpatients in 3 centers in China since September 2021. Patie
