Family exercise program for lung disease patients and their carers
Part of Cancer, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a family-centred exercise program for people with chronic lung disease and the family members or friends who care for them. It aims to help both patients and carers feel better and manage the condition together.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and have a chronic lung disease such as COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis, interstitial lung disease, or lung cancer.
