Studied the impact of an 8-week pulmonary rehabilitation programme in 14 COPD patients compared with controls. They found that the improvement in depression and anxiety was independent of the changes in dyspnea and quality of life.

Crossover study of 6 min walktest in patients with mild-to-severe COPD. The study concluded that distractive auditory stimuli decrease exercise-induced dyspnea in these patients by reducing the perceived unpleasantness of dyspnea.
