Home exercise tests for lung disease
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests how well people with chronic lung disease can do exercise tests at home, either with a researcher watching remotely or by themselves. The goal is to see if home-based tests are as reliable as clinic-based ones.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 40 years old or older.
- You have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that is moderate to very severe, or interstitial lung disease (ILD) that has been diagnosed for more than 6 months.
- Your lung condition has been stable for at least the past 4 weeks (no recent flare-ups).
- You should not have recently completed a pulmonary rehabilitation program (within the past year).
- You cannot take part if you have certain other health problems, like unstable heart disease, severe joint or nerve conditions, or if you weigh more than 130 kg (about 287 lbs).
- Depending on the study group, you may not be able to participate if you use oxygen therapy (for the gas analysis part).

This study tests whether a telehealth exercise program works as well as in-person sessions for people with chronic lung disease. You may join if you recently finished rehab for your lung condition and can walk with or without help.
This trial tests whether doing a low-intensity breathing and exercise program at home helps people with COPD. It uses a smartphone or tablet to guide you and collect progress information, aiming to improve health and daily functioning.
This study tests whether a supervised home-based exercise program, delivered via video calls, can help people recovering from a COPD flare-up feel stronger and breathe easier, compared with usual care. If you join, you'll have regular online sessions with a rehab team from home.
This study tests whether daily home exercises can help people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) combined with interstitial lung disease (scarring of lung tissue). Researchers will send you daily messages to support your exercise routine and see if it improves your symptoms and quality of life.
This trial tests a pulmonary rehabilitation (lung exercise) program for people with COPD. It aims to see how daily activities and lung function can improve with a structured at-home exercise plan.
This trial tests whether a home-based exercise program, guided remotely by a therapist, can help older adults with conditions like COPD, asthma, heart failure, or metabolic syndrome. The goal is to improve their health and quality of life without needing to go to a clinic.
