Summary

Persons with COPD have both chronic musculoskeletal pain and dyspnea that require accurate diagnosis and treatment, ultimately to optimize functional status. The investigators propose to use advanced neuroimaging techniques to understand central mechanisms of chronic pain, dyspnea, and physical activity promotion in COPD. The investigators' novel proposal to correlate subjective symptoms (chronic pain and dyspnea) with an objective central biomarker (resting state functional connectivity) and examine their changes in response to a non-pharmacological, non-addictive physical activity intervention will personalize the care of Veterans with COPD.
