A pilot study has been performed on fifty COPD patients: besides using effective drugs, half of the patients have been treated also with major ozonated autohaemotherapy . This treatment has been evaluated during the last two decades and is absolutely atoxic: the treated patients have shown a significant improvement of the six minute walking test and Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire total score. Surprisingly their quality of life was also much improved. Orthodox medications appears to be greatly potentiated when integrated by the autologous infusion of ozonated blood. This combination deserves to be evaluated in an ample clinical trial.
