Protocol summary

Study aim
determination The Effect of Local heat Therapy on the Respiratory Indicators and Fatigue in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Design
A randomized trial with intervention and control groups, unblinded, random allocation by permutation block method, 48 patients with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
