Exercise and Breathing in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well people with IPF can exercise and how strong their breathing muscles are. It helps doctors understand the effects of IPF on daily activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have been diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) by a doctor.
- You haven't had a lung infection or a bad cold in the past month.
- Your IPF has been stable (no sudden worsening) for at least the past three months.
- You do not use a cane, walker, or other walking aid.

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 measures how well the small airways in your lungs work if you have idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It aims to find better ways to assess the disease and could lead to improved care.
This study looks at people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who are currently having a sudden worsening of breathing symptoms. It may help doctors better understand what happens during these flare-ups and how to manage them.
This study looks at whether a personalized exercise program can improve quality of life and slow down lung disease in people with fibrosing interstitial lung disease. If you have trouble breathing when active and have been stable for the past month, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether downhill walking improves lung function and exercise ability in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). If you can walk on a treadmill and haven't been in a structured exercise program recently, you may qualify.
This study measures how hard you breathe using a gentle nasal pressure device in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It may help doctors better understand breathing mechanics in IPF and guide future care.
