Tele-Pulmonary Rehabilitation For Patients With Chronic Lung Diseases
Tele-Pulmonary Rehabilitation to Improve Adherence and Management of Patients With Chronic Lung Diseases
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 24 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Pulmonary rehabilitation is a key treatment for lung diseases, but many patients struggle to attend sessions due to travel distances, physical limitations, or logistical barriers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a tele-pulmonary rehabilitation (TPR) program can improve the rates of treatment initiation and adherence among patients with chronic lung diseases compared to traditional, center-based pulmonary rehabilitation. Additionally, the study will assess improvements in quality of life, physical symptoms, and safety in both groups. This study will enroll 90 patients from two medical centers in Israel (Tel Aviv and Barzilai). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1. The control group will receive usual care with a referral by a pulmonologist to standard pulmonary rehabilitation at a medical center. 2. The intervention group will participate in a supervised remote tele-rehabilitation program using a dedicated application and remote monitoring.
