Air purifiers tested as simple remedy for lung disease sufferers
NCT ID NCT07344987
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using high-efficiency air purifiers at home can improve breathing, reduce symptoms, and boost quality of life for people with interstitial lung disease (ILD). One hundred adults with stable ILD will use the purifiers in a randomized crossover design. The goal is to see if cleaner indoor air can ease respiratory irritation and help patients feel better day-to-day.
