Measuring exercise capacity and breathing muscle strength in pulmonary fibrosis
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well your lungs and breathing muscles work during exercise. It aims to help doctors better understand and support people with IPF.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
- You have not had a lung infection (like a cold or flu) in the last month.
- You do not have another lung disease such as COPD.
- Your IPF is stable (no recent flare-ups in the last 3 months).
- You do not need a walking aid, do not have serious heart problems, and have no conditions that affect walking or balance.

This study looks at how well people with pulmonary fibrosis can breathe in and aims to see if their breathing flow rate is linked to their condition. It may help doctors understand more about the disease and plan better care.
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 trial is for people with scarring lung disease (pulmonary fibrosis) in Ireland. It aims to better understand and care for the condition, especially in families. The study will look at medical data and may help improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study tests a rehabilitation program for people with pulmonary fibrosis to help improve their breathing and quality of life. It involves exercise and education, and is designed for those who are medically stable.
This study compares two types of breathing exercises to help people with pulmonary fibrosis breathe easier and improve their daily function. It tests a hands-on diaphragm release technique versus a training device that strengthens your breathing muscles.
