Home-based Pulmonary Rehabilitation with Health Coaching in Patients with Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease: A Prospective Pragmatic Randomized Waitlist-Controlled Trial
This research study is for people who have a diagnosis of lung fibrosis and are experiencing increased shortness of breath from it. Participation involves being randomly (by chance) selected to participate in either the home-based rehab program right away or an observation only group. If randomly selected to participate in the observation group first, participants will be transitioned to the home-based rehab program after the observation period. Both programs last 12 weeks. The home-based rehab program involves the use of an electronic tablet containing video exercises that to complete daily for a total of 24 minutes of exercise each day. There is also a mindful breathing meditation that lasts about 3 minutes which you will do after completing the video exercises.
