A movement therapy to improve walking ability in IPF
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a gentle exercise technique (Daoyin) to help people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) feel less short of breath and walk farther. It is done at home with a smartphone or computer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a confirmed diagnosis of IPF.
- You are between 40 and 85 years old.
- You can use a smartphone or computer yourself or with help from a family member.
- You are able to do gentle exercise training.
- You are willing to sign a consent form.

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.
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 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.
This study tests a new type of exercise training called isoinertial training (using special equipment that adjusts resistance as you move) for people with moderate to severe COPD. The goal is to see if this training can help improve your breathing, strength, and ability to do daily activities.
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 a phone/computer program that combines walking training with Tai Chi improves physical function (how well you move) in people who have COPD and long-term body or muscle pain. It may help you build strength, balance, and safer movement—especially if pain makes activity hard.
