Therapy and breathing exercises for restrictive lung disease
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether hands-on therapy combined with breathing exercises can help improve lung function in people with restrictive lung diseases. If you have pneumonia, fluid in the lungs, or a similar condition, this might be a helpful option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a restrictive lung condition like pneumonia, fluid in the lungs, pleural effusion, or a collapsed lung.

- You must not have had a recent heart attack or unstable heart condition.
- You must not have osteoporosis (brittle bones).
- You must not have congestive heart failure.

This trial tests a special chest stretching technique to help people with restrictive lung disease breathe better. It is for adults in Sejong City who already get breathing treatments and have a certain type of lung stiffness on their breathing tests.
This study tests a method to improve lung function during chest physical therapy for patients on a breathing machine. It may help clear mucus and make breathing easier.
This study tests two breathing treatments—ventilator hyperinflation and chest vibration—to see which works better for clearing mucus and improving lung function in people who have been on a breathing machine for 2 to 7 days.
This trial studies a combined lung and heart rehabilitation program for people with lung diseases (like COPD, asthma, or fibrosis) or heart conditions (like heart attack, bypass surgery, or heart failure). The goal is to see if a special exercise program can improve your health and quality of life.
This study tests whether a specialized exercise program can help people with emphysema (a type of COPD) build stronger muscles and feel less weak. The program combines regular aerobic exercise with a technique called blood flow restriction training, which uses a cuff to safely limit blood flow during exercise.
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.
