What this paper is
This is a conceptual Perspective proposing a mechanistic framework for understanding dyspnea in pulmonary rehabilitation. It argues that breathlessness involves more than lung mechanics and positions biofeedback and neurofeedback as future research directions. It presents no new data, no methods, and no results. The one pilot trial it references is described as preliminary and non-mechanistic. There is no finding here to change practice on.
