Research Notes on How to Treat Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease


Knowing how to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is important in getting relief from its symptoms. Treatment for COPD involves medications, oxygen therapy, and surgery.1 Since there is no cure for COPD, treatment is aimed at slowing the progression of the disease and managing the symptoms.2

Fast Facts:

  • Bronchodilators are used to make breathing easier. They can be used as part of a short- or long-term treatment.1
  • Your doctor may recommend pulmonary rehabilitation to help you to manage your day-to-day activities.1
  • If you have severe COPD, oxygen therapy can help improve your breathing and protect your heart from damage.2
