Can oxygen during exercise supercharge lung rehab for ILD patients?
NCT ID NCT07679854
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether adding high-flow nasal oxygen during exercise training can improve endurance and quality of life for people with chronic fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD). Participants undergo a 4-week pulmonary rehabilitation program, receiving either high-flow oxygen or standard oxygen during cycling exercises. The study measures how long they can exercise at a constant workload, along with walking distance and breathing comfort.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- high-flow nasal oxygen
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this approach could make pulmonary rehabilitation more effective for people with ILD, helping them exercise longer and breathe easier.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with 60 participants. The benefits may be modest, and high-flow oxygen may not be practical or comfortable for everyone.
