Breathing new life: rehab program aims to ease lingering symptoms after blood clots in lungs
NCT ID NCT05015153
First seen Jun 19, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a 3-month pulmonary rehabilitation program (20 sessions of exercise and education) can improve quality of life and reduce breathlessness in people who have had a pulmonary embolism. Researchers will enroll 112 adults who still have symptoms at least 3 months after starting blood thinners. The goal is to see if this approach, already used for other lung diseases, can help patients feel better and breathe easier.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
pulmonary rehabilitation (exercise and education program)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could establish pulmonary rehabilitation as a standard treatment to improve quality of life and reduce breathlessness after a pulmonary embolism.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial with 112 participants. The benefits seen in previous small studies may not hold up, and the program requires significant time commitment from patients.
Conditions
