Can remote rehab help lung patients breathe easier?
NCT ID NCT06636487
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether home-based or video-supervised exercise programs are acceptable and helpful for people with chronic lung diseases like IPF, sarcoidosis, bronchiectasis, asthma, and other interstitial lung diseases. Fifty participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: supervised group tele-rehabilitation, a self-guided home program with weekly coaching, or usual care. The main goals are to see if patients are willing to join, stick with the program, and show signs of improved symptoms and quality of life.
