Home rehab program aims to ease lung fibrosis symptoms
NCT ID NCT06751069
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a 12-week home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program, combined with health coaching, can improve quality of life and physical activity in people with fibrotic interstitial lung disease. Participants will do daily breathing exercises, balance walks, and mindfulness, with guidance from a coach. The goal is to see if this approach works better than usual care for managing symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- home-based pulmonary rehabilitation and health coaching
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a practical, low-cost way to improve breathing, energy, and daily activity for people with fibrotic lung disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral intervention, not a drug, so benefits may be modest. The study is early and results depend on participants sticking with the routine.
