NCT ID NCT03800017
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why people with interstitial lung disease (ILD) often feel breathless and have trouble exercising. Researchers think leg muscle problems might be a cause. They will measure leg muscle strength and structure in 40 ILD patients and test how extra oxygen affects exercise. The goal is to better understand these symptoms, not to test a new treatment.
