Physical activity and lung scarring
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if a supervised exercise program, 3 times a week, helps people with lung scarring (fibrosing interstitial lung disease). It may improve your breathing and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have lung scarring that covers more than 10% of your lung volume on a CT scan
- You can attend physical reconditioning sessions 3 times a week
- You have health insurance and can sign a consent form
- You are not currently pregnant or in another treatment study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study follows patients with chronic lung scarring (fibrosing interstitial lung disease) who are in the intensive care unit for severe breathing failure. It aims to better understand their condition and care, which may help improve future treatments.
This trial looks at whether a more intensive exercise program after keyhole surgery for lung cancer helps you recover faster. It involves cycling on a stationary bike while supervised by a physiotherapist.
This study tests a home-based exercise and health coaching program for people with scarring in their lungs (fibrotic ILD). The goal is to see if doing rehab at home, with support from a coach, can help you feel better and breathe easier.
This study looks at how well skeletal (muscle) function supports exercise in people with interstitial lung diseases (including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). It may help better understand fitness and breathing limits, which can guide rehabilitation choices and future care.
This study tests whether video game-based exercise training can help people with interstitial lung disease improve their physical fitness and lung health. You'll play interactive games during exercise sessions, which may make the training more enjoyable and effective.
This study tests a counseling program to help people with interstitial lung disease (a group of lung conditions that cause scarring and make breathing harder) with rehabilitation and support. It may help you cope better and stay active.
