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.
- You are willing to start a pulmonary rehab program, either at home or in a clinic.
- You can use a smartphone, tablet, or computer for the home program.
- You have not been hospitalized in the last 2 months.
- You do not have other serious health problems that are not well controlled (like severe heart failure).

This study compares remote (tele-pulmonary) rehab to in-person rehab for people with moderate-to-severe COPD who live far from medical centers. You join from home using a phone or computer, with guided exercises and support.
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 trial tests a home-based exercise program delivered through a smartphone app for people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition where the blood vessels in the lungs are narrowed, making the heart work harder. The program aims to improve physical function and quality of life through guided telerehabilitation.
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 trial offers a home-based exercise and breathing program for people with COPD, done on your own schedule with remote support. It aims to improve your symptoms and quality of life without needing to travel to a clinic.
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.
