Clinical Trial: Diaphragmatic Release vs Inspiratory Muscle Training in Pulmonary Fibrosis

U.S., Sept. 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07810153) titled 'Diaphragmatic Release vs Inspiratory Muscle Training in Pulmonary Fibrosis' on Sept. 02.

Brief Summary: This study evaluates the efficacy of adding manual Diaphragmatic Release Technique (DRT) versus Targeted Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) to standard medical therapy in patients with stable pulmonary fibrosis. Forty participants are randomly allocated into two equal groups: Group A: Receives manual therapy (cranial and lateral traction to the rib cage for 10-15 minutes) 3 times per week for 12 weeks alongside standard medical care.
