Comparing home-based and hospital-based pulmonary rehabilitation for bronchiectasis

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) versus hospital-based PR in patients with bronchiectasis. While PR has shown benefits in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), its efficacy in bronchiectasis is less understood, necessitating further investigation. The study will assess pulmonary function, dyspnea perception, quality of life, and exercise capacity before and after the rehabilitation programs. By evaluating both supervised and unsupervised PR methods, the research seeks to determine the most effective approach for improving patient outcomes.
