Abstract

Background: Previous studies have reported that physical therapy (PT) can be used for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, its effectiveness is still inconclusive. This systematic review will aim to assess its effectiveness and safety for the treatment of patients with COPD.

Methods: All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) literatures of PT for COPD will be searched from the databases of Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), EMBASE, MEDILINE, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP Information, and Wanfang Data from inception to the present without any language restrictions. Two reviewers will independently perform the study selection, data extraction, and methodological quality assessment. A third reviewer will be invited to resolve any disagreements occurred between 2 reviewers.

Results: The primary outcome is lung function. The secondary outcomes include symptoms, health-related quality of life, mortality, and adverse events. The outcome data will be pooled by using the models of random-effects or fixed-effects according to the detected heterogeneity.

Conclusion: The findings of this study will provide up-todated summary evidence for assessing the effectiveness and safety of PT for COPD.
