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.
