%X <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Whether Internet of Things (IoT)-based home respiratory muscle training (RMT) benefits patients with comorbid chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains unclear. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of IoT-based home RMT for patients with COPD.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Seventy-eight patients with stable COPD were randomly divided into two groups. The control group received routine health education, while the intervention group received IoT-based home RMT (30 inspiratory muscle training [IMT] and 30 expiratory muscle training [EMT] in different respiratory cycles twice daily for 12 consecutive weeks). Assessments took place pre-intervention and 12 weeks post-intervention, including lung function tests, respiratory muscle strength tests, the mMRC dyspnea scale, CAT questionnaires, the HAMA scale, and 6-month COPD-related readmission after intervention.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Seventy-four patients with COPD were analyzed (intervention group = 38, control group = 36), and the mean age and FEV1 of the patients were 68.65 ± 7.40 years, 1.21 ± 0.54 L. Compared to those of the control population, the intervention group exhibited higher FEV1/FVC (48.23 ± 10.97 vs 54.32 ± 10.31, p = 0.016), MIP (41.72 ± 7.70 vs 47.82 ± 10.99, p = 0.008), and MEP (42.94 ± 7.85 vs 50.29 ± 15.74, p = 0.013); lower mMRC (2.00 [2.00-3.00] vs 1.50 [1.00-2.00], p < 0.001), CAT (17.00 [12.00-21.75] vs 11.00 [9.00-13.25], p < 0.001), and HAMA (7.00 [5.00-9.00] vs 2.00 [1.00-3.00], p < 0.001) scores; and a lower incidence rate of 6-month readmission (22% vs 5%, p = 0.033).<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Compared with no intervention, IoT-based home RMT may be a more beneficial intervention for patients with COPD.
