Treating the lungs via the brain: Mechanisms underpinning improvements in breathlessness with pulmonary rehabilitation
2017-03-23

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Breathlessness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is often discordant with airway pathophysiology (“over-perception”). Pulmonary rehabilitation has profound effects upon breathlessness, without influencing lung function. Learned associations can influence brain mechanisms of sensory perception.
