Results

Primary Outcome
Apathy scale scores in Group A were significantly decreased after 4 and 12 weeks of treatment, but no significant change was observed in Group B.
The ratios to baseline in numbers of steps in Group A were significantly higher than those in Group B after 4 and 12 weeks of treatment.

Secondary Outcome

Baseline Characteristics

Group A
Mean age 72.5 years old,

Participant flow

Between April in 2018 and March in 2020, a total 29 apathetic patients with COPD were randomized. Six patients were excluded from the analysis because of withdrawal, disaster, and adverse event. Finally, 23 patients (11 in Group A and 12 in Group B) were enrolled.

Adverse events

One patient in Group A was diagnosed as lumbar spinal stenosis and dropped out from the study. The causal relationship between the therapy and occurrence of lumbar spinal stenosis was not found.

Outcome measures

Primary Outcome: Apathy scale score, Numbers of steps
Secondary Outcome: Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9 score, COPD assessment test score, Modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale, VAS for dyspnea, VAS for fatigue, Body weight, Body mass index, Rate of acute exacerbation, Completion rate of pulmonary rehabilitation, Compliance of medicine, Laboratory data, Adverse events
