Home-based pulmonary rehab for chronic lung disease
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program using a smartphone or computer works as well as in-person rehab for people with chronic lung diseases like COPD or lung scarring. It aims to help you breathe better and feel stronger from home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a chronic lung disease (like COPD, lung scarring, bronchiectasis, or pulmonary hypertension) that meets certain severity levels.

This trial tests whether doing a low-intensity breathing and exercise program at home helps people with COPD. It uses a smartphone or tablet to guide you and collect progress information, aiming to improve health and daily functioning.
This study tests whether a supervised home-based exercise program, delivered via video calls, can help people recovering from a COPD flare-up feel stronger and breathe easier, compared with usual care. If you join, you'll have regular online sessions with a rehab team from home.
This study tests a virtual (online) pulmonary rehabilitation program for people with COPD. If you join, you will participate in exercises and education from home, with remote support from the study team.
This study tests a community-based maintenance program for people with moderate to severe COPD who have finished an initial 8-week pulmonary rehab. The goal is to help you stay active and keep your health gains.
This trial tests whether supervised rehab exercises delivered by phone/video (telerehabilitation) can help people living with COPD. You may be a fit if you’re an adult with COPD who hasn’t done pulmonary rehabilitation before and can use a smartphone.
