About this trial

This study is based on the previously constructed digital rehabilitation management platform, scientifically evaluating the clinical efficacy of guided technology in improving IPF exercise endurance, and forming high-quality clinical evidence.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients who meet the diagnostic criteria for IPF;

Those who can tolerate guided - technique training;

Aged between 40 and 85 years old;

Those who can independently or with the assistance of family members use devices such as smartphones and computers during home - based training;

Disqualifiers

Patients in the acute exacerbation phase of IPF.

Patients with comorbidities such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, active pulmonary tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, pulmonary embolism, and other pulmonary diseases.

Patients with severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (malignant arrhythmia, unstable angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, cardiac function at grade 3 or above, stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, etc.).

Patients with severe liver diseases (such as bleeding caused by liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and esophagogastric varices) and severe kidney diseases (dialysis, kidney transplantation, etc.).

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Daoyin Technique

    Behavioral

    On the basis of treatment guided by "Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (an Update) and Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis in Adults: An Official ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT Clinical Practice Guideline ", the experimental group was given Daoyin Technique for treatment. For patients who are able to complete the respiratory guidance technique. For patients who are unable to complete the respiratory guidance technique but have stable vital signs (referring to the "Expert Consensus on Respiratory Critical Care Rehabilitation Treatment Techniques in China"), the supine guidance technique is selected. It is carried out 5 days a week, 2 times a day, and each training session lasts for 30 minutes.

  • Routine Comprehensive Training

    Behavioral

    On the basis of treatment guided by I"Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (an Update) and Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis in Adults: An Official ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT Clinical Practice Guideline",the experimental group was given Routine Comprehensive Training. According to the patient's condition, select aerobic training (such as walking) or upper - limb and lower - limb resistance training (such as lifting, chest - expanding, foot - pedaling movements, etc.) combined with respiratory training (such as pursed - lip breathing, abdominal breathing, etc.). The heart rate should reach the target heart rate range and last for more than 10 minutes. This training is carried out 5 days a week, 2 times a day.

Treatment groups

236 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Daoyin Technique in addition to the guideline - directed treatment.Experimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Routine Comprehensive Training in addition to the guideline - directed treatment.Active comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

6 Six Minute Walk Distance(6MWD)

6MWD will be applied to evaluate the exercise capacity. The higher values indicate the better exercise capacity.

Time frame
Change from baseline 6MWD at week 13 and 26.
2

the 30 - second sit - to - stand test(30s STS)

30s STS will be used to assess pulmonary function.

Time frame
Change from baseline FVC at week 13 and 26.

Secondary outcomes

1

The time of the first acute exacerbation

The time of the patients' first acute exacerbation will be recorded.

Time frame
Up to week 26.
2

Frequency of acute exacerbation

Frequency of acute exacerbation will be recorded.

Time frame
Up to week 26.
3

Frequency of acute exacerbations resulting in hospitalization

Frequency of acute exacerbation resulting in hospitalization will be recorded.

Time frame
Up to week 26.
4

Frequency of acute exacerbations resulting in ICU admission

Frequency of acute exacerbation resulting in ICU admission will be recorded.

Time frame
Up to week 26.
