Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) patients could benefit from pulmonary rehabilitation(PR) in better managing of the disease and its symptoms and in avoiding future relapses and hospitalizations. However, due to a large number of drop outs from PR, lack of professionals, and the COVID-19 epidemic, the PR has been underutilized, leading to a need for investigation of updated forms. Music therapy, such as rhythm-guided endurance training, singing training, listening to melody, may be one such potential relevant and motivating rehabilitation activity. The study aims to investigate the effects of home-based PR program with a rhythm-guided endurance walking exercise and singing training on both physiological and psychological aspects. Effects will be investigated in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 12-week intervention period.
