Millions of people suffer from obstructive respiratory conditions globally. Including videogames in rehabilitation programs can be an interesting alternative to traditional programs or a complementary activity. To explore the use of videogames in the treatment of patients with obstructive respiratory diseases. A systematic literature search was performed to identify randomized clinical trials evaluating the effects of videogames on health outcomes in patients with respiratory obstructive diseases. The following databases were searched: PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Scopus. The methodological quality of the studies included was assessed with the Downs and Black quality assessment method. Nine articles were included, of which three used videogames as physical training methods and managed to improve exercise capacity, strength, quality of life, and symptoms. The remaining six articles used videogames to educate patients about the disease and showed slight improvements in knowledge of the disease and use of medication. The results of this review show that videogames are a very useful complementary therapy. They can contribute to enhance rehabilitation programs, as they improve exercise capacity, muscle strength, quality of life, severity, control, and knowledge of the disease. Videogames should be supervised by a professional so that programs can be tailored to patients, proposing different activities in the game and controlling the correct performance, and generating an increase in adherence to treatment.
