Purpose: There are only a limited number of studies in the literature evaluating body awareness, pain perception, and the relationship between clinical parameters and respiratory functions in patients with obstructive lung disease (OLD) and compared with healthy individuals. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate respiratory functions, pain tolerance, and body awareness in patients with OLD and compare these findings with those of healthy individuals. Methods: The study included 33 patients and 30 healthy individuals. The respiratory function (spirometer), respiratory muscle strength (mouth pressure device), endurance (threshold loading device), pain level and tolerance (short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire and algometer), posture, and body awareness (Body Awareness Questionnaire-BAQ) were evaluated. Results: The pain threshold and tolerance of the biceps, triceps, trapezius, and quadriceps muscles were significantly lower and BAQ scores were higher in patients with OLD compared with healthy individuals (p < .05). There was a significant relationship between FEV1 (%) and pain tolerance of the triceps (r = 0.371, p = .047) and gastrocnemius muscles (r = 0.419, p = .024); FVC (%) and pain threshold of the gastrocnemius (r = 0.413, p = .023), triceps muscles (r = 0.394, p = .034), and pain tolerance of the gastrocnemius muscle (r = 0.549, p = .002). Conclusions: Patients with OLD have a marked increase in pain perception and body awareness levels and a decrease in pain threshold and tolerance compared with healthy controls. Future studies should assess the effectiveness of pain management interventions as a part of pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with chronic respiratory diseases. Clinical Implications: Pain management is important for planning pulmonary rehabilitation programmes. (c) 2024 American Society for Pain Management Nursing. Published by Elsevier Inc.

Background Information on the interaction between frailty and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is limited. Aims This study aimed to compare activities of daily living (ADL), exercise capacity, balance, and cognition in COPD patients with and without frailty. Methods Twenty frail and 28 non-frail COPD patients aged 55 years and over were included. Frailty was determined according to Fried et al. Dyspnea was evaluated using the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale. Respiratory and peripheral muscle strength were measured. Functional capacity was assessed using a 6-min walk test (6MWT); ADL performance was evaluated using the Glittre ADL test. The balance was evaluated using the functional reach test (FRT). Cognitive function was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Evaluation (MoCA) Test. Quality of life was measured using the COPD Assessment Test (CAT). Results The mMRC and CAT scores were higher in the frail patients as compared with the non-frail patients (p < 0.05). The maximal inspiratory pressure, handgrip strength, 6MWT distance, and FRT score were lower in the frail patients as compared with the non-frail patients (p < 0.05). The duration for the Glittre ADL test was longer in the frail patients than the non-frail patients (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between MoCA scores between groups (p > 0.05). Conclusions Frail COPD patients have increased dyspnea perception, impaired muscle strength, and functional capacity, ADL performance, balance, and quality of life. Whether pulmonary rehabilitation programs for patients with frail COPD need to be adapted with new rehabilitation strategies, including components of frailty, needs further investigation.
