First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether playing video games that involve breathing exercises can improve lung function and exercise capacity in people with interstitial lung disease. 42 participants will be split into two groups: one doing standard rehab, the other adding video game-based exercises.
