Read our COPD research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether brief video calls with a nurse — who teaches you how to care for your mouth and teeth — can improve oral health in people with COPD (a long-term lung disease). Half of the participants will receive oral health education through video call plus daily reminders, while the other half will receive standard care with no special education. Everyone will have their mouth health checked after one month.
People with COPD often struggle with oral health, but there's limited research on how to help them. Good oral care is important for overall health and can help prevent infections and other problems. This study is testing whether nurse-led education delivered by video can be an easy, accessible way to improve mouth health.

If you join the education group, a nurse will call you via video within 24 hours of your first visit to teach you about oral care — including brushing twice daily and rinsing your mouth after using your inhaler. You'll also receive daily reminders by phone. After one month, you'll return to the hospital for a check-up of your mouth health and quality of life. If you're in the comparison group, you'll just have the same check-up at one month without the special education or reminders.
