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 a rehabilitation program designed to improve breathing and heart health in children who have had heart surgery or a heart transplant. The program may help children become more active and feel less fragile.
This study tests whether rehabilitation exercises done online at home can help people with bronchiectasis (a lung condition causing chronic airway damage) improve their lung function and quality of life. You'll do guided exercises remotely instead of traveling to a clinic.
