Home-based breathing exercises and coaching for lung scarring

This trial is testing whether bringing pulmonary rehabilitation (breathing exercises and physical training) into your home—paired with one-on-one health coaching—can help you breathe better, stay more active, and feel better overall. Right now, these programs are usually offered only at hospitals or clinics, which many patients with lung scarring can't easily access. This study wants to see if making it available at home makes a real difference in how you feel.

People with scarred lungs often struggle with shortness of breath, fatigue, and reduced activity, which worsens their quality of life. While medicines can slow lung damage, breathing exercises and physical training are the only proven way to reduce shortness of breath and help people stay active—but many patients can't get to a clinic for these programs. This trial tests whether bringing this treatment home could help more people.
