Can exercise and breathing training repair lungs damaged by TB?
NCT ID NCT07709507
First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether an 8-week supervised pulmonary rehabilitation program can improve breathing, exercise capacity, and quality of life in adults with persistent lung problems after completing tuberculosis treatment. Participants are randomly assigned to either the rehab program plus standard care or standard care alone. The program includes aerobic and resistance exercises, breathing techniques, and education, with follow-up assessments at the end of the program and three months later.

- Active substance
- an 8-week individualized pulmonary rehabilitation program including aerobic, resistance, and breathing exercises
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could become a standard way to help people with post-TB lung damage breathe easier and feel better.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study. The benefits may be modest or not last beyond the program, and individual results can vary.
