Breathe better at home: new study tests digital training for lung disease
NCT ID NCT05860803
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a home-based breathing and respiratory muscle training program, supported by a health coach, can help people with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis improve their exercise ability and lung function. About 50 participants will use a digital program at home. The goal is to see if this approach makes daily activities easier and improves overall health.
