The RE program (simple and feasible) during intradialytic clinical parameters changed FM and a significant improvement in QOL assessment were observed. The impact on QOL was important for the patient, including those involving improvement in level of family and social relationships when subjected to RE.

Introduction: The Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a global health problem of growing importance and the current treatment available does not improve disease progression or its mortality (RODRIGUES, 2009). In this context, it is of utmost importance the search for new treatments for COPD. It is known that oxidative stress plays an important role in COPD, through direct damage to the components of the respiratory tract, as well as other mechanisms amplifying its pathophysiology. Objectives: This study aimed to clinically evaluate the use of the use of melatonin (MLT) for the treatment of COPD. MLT, the main product of pineal gland, is recognized as an important factor in the regulation of sleep, is also considered having antioxidant effects. Methods: This is an undergoing prospective clinical trial, double-blind, randomized, with three parallel groups without crossover. Sixty patients are enrolled and MLT-treated for 3 (three) months and distributed in three (3) groups, as follows: I. control, II. MLT 3mg, III. MLT 6mg. Each group receives one (1) tablet containing melatonin, and the group I receives one tablet of placebo, group II, one tablet of MLT (3mg) and Group III, one tablet of MLT (6mg). All tablets (MLT and placebo) are identical in all presentations of shape, size and color. All doses are administered one hour before the usual time of sleep. Patients are monitored by quizzes
