Virtual Reality Training for Pulmonary Hypertension Patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using virtual reality can help people with pulmonary hypertension (a condition affecting blood vessels in the lungs) improve their exercise ability and quality of life. You'll use VR while doing gentle physical activities to see if it's helpful and safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (a type of high blood pressure in the lungs)
- Your medications have been stable and unchanged for at least 3 months
- Your symptoms and heart condition have been stable for at least 3 months
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You do not have bone, joint, or nerve problems that would prevent you from exercising or being tested

This study tests if virtual reality combined with physical and mental tasks can improve muscle oxygen levels in people with COPD. It aims to find a more engaging way to help you exercise and feel better.
This trial tests whether adding virtual reality to standard pulmonary rehabilitation can improve muscle strength, exercise ability, and breathing symptoms in people with long-term lung conditions like COPD. Participants will experience both standard rehab and rehab with virtual reality to see which works better.
This trial tests if using virtual reality during exercise can help manage symptoms and improve rehabilitation for people with interstitial lung disease, a condition that causes scarring in the lungs and makes breathing hard.
This study tests whether a special exercise training program can help people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) feel better and stay stable. If you have mild-to-moderate PAH and are on stable medication, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and healthy volunteers experience shortness of breath at rest, during exercise, and during a virtual reality activity. It also tests whether a placebo (a fake treatment) can affect breathlessness. This could help improve future treatments for breathing difficulties.
This study tests whether using virtual reality can improve lung function and reduce anxiety in people with uncontrolled asthma. It may help you breathe better and feel calmer by using a guided virtual reality exercise program.
