NCT ID NCT03800017
First seen May 16, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether leg muscle issues contribute to shortness of breath and exercise problems in people with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Researchers will compare leg muscle structure and function in 40 ILD patients, and test if muscle fatigue limits exercise. They will also see if breathing extra oxygen helps reduce muscle fatigue and improve exercise ability. The goal is to better understand the causes of these common symptoms.
