Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Saint Pierre31 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of our study is to assess the impact of pulmonary rehabilitation on objective sleep quality in COPD patients.

COPD patients suffer from bad sleep quality. About 27 -50% are suffering from insomnia, and respiratory related symptoms are also inducing sleep disturbances. Recently, a correlation between altered sleep quality and low activity levels have been shown in this population. In primary insomnia, it is well established that physical activity has a positive impact on sleep quality. The purpose of our study is to assess the impact of pulmonary rehabilitation on objective sleep quality in COPD patients.
