These approaches modify or reduce the energy requirements of activities. Thanks to ECT, it is possible to complete physical activity with little or no dyspnea (Özyılmaz and Gürses, 2012). ECT training consists of six principles: prioritizing activities, planning a daily schedule, adjusting it to suit oneself, positioning, pursed-lip breathing, and a positive attitude (Pohaci, Riani, and Hartoyo, 2013). The content of ECT training includes teaching diaphragmatic breathing to the patient, encouraging them to perform activities requiring upper limb support while seated, emphasizing the importance of asking for help from family members when needed, planning the day and allocating time for rest, holding materials between the shoulder blade and pelvis, avoiding bending, training on proper postures, and demonstrating how to perform activities (Velloso, 2006).",[9],[25],{"name":26,"role":27,"phone":28,"phoneExt":18,"email":29},"Zeynep Asal, NURSE","CONTACT","539 386 19 72","zasal1889@gmail.com",[31],{"facility":32,"status":18,"city":33,"state":18,"zip":34,"country":35,"countryCode":18,"cosmosGeoPoint":36,"geoPoint":41,"contacts":42},"Isparta Şehir Hastanesi","Isparta","32040","Turkey (Türkiye)",{"type":37,"coordinates":38},"Point",[39,40],30.55222,37.76444,{"lat":40,"lon":39},[43],{"name":44,"role":27,"phone":18,"phoneExt":18,"email":29},"Zeynep Asal",{"type":46,"investigatorFullName":47,"investigatorTitle":48,"investigatorAffiliation":5,"oldNameTitle":18,"oldOrganization":18},"PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR","Zeynep ASAL","Principal Investigator","100638665","investigation-of-the-effect-of-structured-energy-conservation-techniques-training-on-copd-patients-100638665",false,"NCT07581132","Investigation of the Effect of Structured Energy Conservation Techniques Training on COPD Patients","Investigation of the Effects of Structured Energy Conservation Techniques Training on Activities of Daily Living, Fatigue, and Exercise Capacity in COPD Patients","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients who have been admitted to the pulmonary diseases ward or have applied to the pulmonary diseases outpatient clinic,\n* Patients diagnosed with COPD,\n* Patients in category E of the GOLD A, B, E classification (patients experiencing more than 2 moderate exacerbations or having multiple hospitalizations) (GOLD, 2025)\n* Patients over 40 years of age (Adeloye et al, 2015).\n* Patients who will continue their health check-ups at the Isparta City Hospital Pulmonology Outpatient Clinic,\n* Patients who agree to participate in the study,\n* Patients or at least one of their relatives who can read and write,\n* Patients or at least one of their relatives who does not have communication problems will be included in the study.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with serious orthopedic problems that may have a significant impact on daily activities,\n* Patients with progressive neuromuscular disease,\n* Patients who have experienced unstable angina pectoris or myocardial infarction within the last month,\n* Patients living alone,\n* Patients in groups A and B of the GOLD ABE classification will not be included.

COPD is a multifaceted disease that is not limited to respiratory symptoms but also negatively affects individuals' functional capacity, physical endurance, and participation in daily living activities. Common symptoms include shortness of breath (dyspnea) and a significant feeling of fatigue; this can lead to decreased exercise capacity, limitations in daily living activities, and ultimately dependence over time. Therefore, in the treatment of COPD, not only drug therapy but also interventions aimed at symptom control and improving functional capacity are becoming increasingly important. Energy conservation techniques, included in pulmonary rehabilitation programs, are based on the view that dyspnea occurs most intensely during daily living activities, and that performing these activities in an energy-conserving manner will result in less dyspnea. Energy conservation techniques are one of the trainings given to improve symptom management in COPD patients. Disease symptoms can increase in COPD patients during tasks such as washing hair, drying hair, shaving, reaching, bending, lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling weights. When appropriate body mechanics and tools that facilitate tasks are used, the amount of energy required during these tasks decreases. In this way, it is thought that patients will be more active in their daily living activities. Breathing exercises are also a component of pulmonary rehabilitation and support the increase of respiratory muscle function and exercise tolerance. Accordingly, it is thought that structured energy conservation techniques training can improve daily living activities, fatigue, and exercise capacity in COPD patients. This research will be conducted as a pre-test-post-test, single-blind, randomized controlled trial to examine the effect of structured energy conservation techniques training on daily living activities, fatigue, and exercise capacity in COPD patients.",[66],"Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)",[68,69,70],"Activities of Daily Living","COPD","Energy Conservation","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-05-12",{"date":74,"type":75},"2026-05-14","ACTUAL",{"date":77,"type":60},"2026-07-10",{"date":79,"type":60},"2027-01-10",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
