ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how a special exercise device, called the lung boost device, can help improve breathing, reduce fatigue, and enhance physical ability in women with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The study aims to understand if using this device can make a positive difference in the daily lives of patients who have been living with ILD for at least three years and experience mild breathing difficulties.

To participate in this trial, women aged 45 to 55 with a confirmed diagnosis of ILD and stable health conditions may be eligible. However, those with certain heart issues, other serious lung diseases, cognitive problems, or recent treatments for cancer or infections will not be included. Participants can expect to engage in exercises using the lung boost device and will be monitored to see how it affects their breathing and overall well-being. This research could help find new ways to support patients with ILD.
