NCT00868075

Brief Summary

The aim of our study is to ascertain whether chest physiotherapy + pulmonary rehabilitation is more efficacious than chest physiotherapy alone. The outcomes that will be used to assess effectiveness are relevant in terms of the direct benefit on the patient's health related quality of life. PLANNED STUDY: This randomized study will compare 8 weeks chest physiotherapy with 8 weeks chest physiotherapy plus pulmonary rehabilitation.
