Fatigue in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may be caused by factors such as shortness of breath, sleep quality, pain, and fatigue-related catastrophizing, according to the FAntasTIGUE study. In the study, individuals who reported more dyspnoea, poorer sleep quality, more fatigue catastrophizing, and more pain were more likely to report higher levels of […]

A study of patients in Asia with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) found that aclidinium was associated with clinically meaningful bronchodilation and that aclidinium/formoterol provided greater bronchodilation vs monotherapies in patients with stable moderate to severe disease.
