Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic progressive disease with high incidence rate, high mortality rate and high disability rate. Among the people over 40, the prevalence rate is 10.1%, while the prevalence rate in China is 13.7%. Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is a major event that affects the natural course of COPD. In particular, most patients with AECOPD have poor prognosis, higher morbidity and mortality, and lower quality of life. Pulmonary rehabilitation can improve the clinical symptoms of AECOPD patients, increase exercise tolerance, delay the decline of lung function, and improve the quality of life. In recent years, the clinical research on the rehabilitation of patients with AECOPD is still in the exploratory stage, which needs to be supported by clear evidence.~This is a multicenter, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of supine daoyin in the treatment of AECOPD. After admission, the patients were randomly divided into two groups, rehabilitation group and control group, 114 cases in each group. After routine treatment, the patients began to recover when they reached the initial rehabilitation standard, and recovered until they reached the discharge standard. The primary outcomes are the length of hospital stay due to acute exacerbation and clinical symptom score. The secondary outcomes include activities of daily living, dyspnea score, 6-minute walking distance, lower limb muscle strength, mechanical ventilation and quality of life. Safety will also be assessed.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of supine daoyin in the treatment of AECOPD.
