16 patients with chronic obstructive lung disease were randomized into two groups which were treated with physiotherapy for six weeks. In one group the treatment also involved using a respiratory training mask. Six patients in both groups completed the study. Both groups experienced an improvement for most parameters. The study showed that physiotherapeutic treatment with physical training improved the patients working capacity. However, the treatment with a mask gave no significant additional effect. 46 outpatients who were treated with a mask were asked later if they still used the mask. Only 28% used it regularly and 35% had stopped using the mask because they did not feel any effect.
16名慢性阻塞性肺疾病患者被随机分为两组，接受为期六周的物理治疗。其中一组的治疗还包括使用呼吸训练面罩。两组各有6名患者完成了研究。两组在大多数参数上都有改善。研究表明，物理治疗结合体育锻炼提高了患者的工作能力。然而，使用面罩治疗并没有显著的额外效果。46名接受面罩治疗的门诊患者后来被问及是否仍在使用面罩。只有28%的人经常使用，35%的人因为感觉没有效果而停止使用面罩。
