Abstract:

Second to dyspnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-related fatigue is the second common symptom COPD patients with. The symptom not only restricts patients’ daily activities, affects social interaction, brings negative emotions, but also has a unique correlation with acute exacerbation, worsening prognosis and increased mortality. Although drug therapy can improve fatigue to some extent, its effect is limited. Periodic and regular non-drug intervention is the key to relieve fatigue. However, at present, domestic attention is not enough, and the amount of related intervention studies is also small. Therefore, this paper updates and reviews the concept, pathogenesis and non-drug intervention measures of COPD-related fatigue, in order to provide reference for clinical work and research in China.
