NCT ID NCT03800017

First seen May 16, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026

Summary

This study looks at why people with interstitial lung disease (ILD) often feel short of breath and have trouble exercising. Researchers think leg muscle problems might be a cause. They will measure leg muscle strength and structure in 40 adults with ILD, and test whether extra oxygen helps with muscle fatigue and exercise. The goal is to better understand these symptoms, not to test a new treatment.
