Telerehabilitation training for pectus excavatum
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a home-based exercise program delivered through video calls can improve posture and chest wall flexibility in boys with pectus excavatum who are using the vacuum bell. Participation may help strengthen the chest and back muscles, potentially improving the condition and making the vacuum bell more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a boy between the ages of 10 and 14 years
- You must have started using a vacuum bell device for the first time for pectus excavatum
- You have not had any surgery for pectus excavatum and your pectus is not the complex type
- You do not have any other serious medical, psychiatric, or musculoskeletal conditions (such as Marfan syndrome or scoliosis over 20 degrees)
- You have access to a tablet or computer with an internet connection for the exercise sessions
- You have normal or corrected hearing and vision (with glasses or hearing aids)

This study tests a questionnaire about living with pectus excavatum (sunken chest). If you are a teen (12-18) scheduled for the Nuss procedure, you and your parent can help by filling out the questionnaire to see if it works well.
This trial looks at two surgical methods for correcting pectus excavatum (a sunken chest) in teens. It compares the modified Nuss technique with the classic one to see which works best.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after the Nuss procedure for pectus excavatum. One uses a special catheter that numbs nerves, the other freezes them. The goal is to see which works better for teens and young adults.
This study tests whether telerehabilitation (supervised exercise/therapy by video or remote tools) can help people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) improve breathing and function. You may be able to take part if your condition has been stable and you haven’t recently done a pulmonary rehab program.
This study tests whether doing guided exercises over video calls from home — a 'digital physiotherapy' program — can improve your breathing, muscle strength, and quality of life after chest surgery. It’s a way to get rehab support without needing to travel to a clinic.
This study tests a home-based exercise and education program delivered over the internet for people with bronchiectasis. You'll do guided telerehabilitation sessions from home, which may help improve your breathing, strength, and quality of life.
