Adding street racket to lung rehab
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if playing Street Racket (a simple sport similar to tennis) is possible and enjoyable for people already in pulmonary rehabilitation. You would play while wearing a portable oxygen backpack.

This study tests whether breathing extra oxygen during outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation helps people with COPD. Participants will have their oxygen levels checked during exercise to see if extra oxygen improves their rehab results.
This trial tests whether adding virtual reality (VR) to your regular pulmonary rehabilitation can help improve your muscle function, exercise tolerance, and shortness of breath. You would experience both standard rehab and rehab with VR, in a random order, to see which works better for you.
This study tests a remote pulmonary rehabilitation program designed for people with severe asthma. If you have access to a smartphone or internet, you may be able to join from home to help improve your breathing and daily life.
This trial tests whether pulmonary rehabilitation (supervised breathing and activity training) improves outcomes for adults who need high-flow oxygen. You may be eligible if your breathing and heart/vital signs are stable and your oxygen level is above a certain threshold.
This trial tests whether playing interactive video games can help people with interstitial lung disease (a type of chronic lung condition). It aims to improve breathing and daily function through fun, guided exercises.
This trial tests if adding a special band (BFRT) to walking or biking can help people with COPD breathe better and get stronger. It may be a good option if you have moderate to very severe COPD and haven't been in a rehab program lately.
