The Effect of Distractive Auditory Stimuli (Music) on Dyspnea and Anxiety During Exercise in Adults With Chronic Respiratory Disease
The objective of this study is to look at the effects of distractive auditory stimuli (DAS)
on reducing dyspnea intensity and related anxiety and increasing exercise tolerance.
Investigators hope that compared to a no-music control condition, that under a music
condition participants with COPD will (a) demonstrate increased self-paced walk distance and
enjoyment; (b) have less dyspnea intensity, (c) experience less dyspnea anxiety; (d) have
less fatigue and state anxiety; and (e) higher maximum heart rate. The upbeat music with a
tempo of 90 - 100 bpm (an average-to-moderate walking tempo) is expected to have distractive
and performance enhancing effects in order to increase tolerance to dyspnea and exercise. The
long-term goal of this study is to increase physical activity in adults with COPD and RLD by
promoting dyspnea and fatigue management through use of distractive auditory stimuli in the
form of music.

This randomized clinical trial will use a cross-over design. The research will include two
within-subject factors, music versus no music and time. Each subject will be randomized a
single time to receive either music first then no music, or alternatively, no music first
then music during two walk tests.
