In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary intervention incorporating exercise training, education, and behavior change, shown to improve dyspnea, exercise capacity, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in ILD patients. However, access to center-based PR is limited in many settings, including ours, due to geographic, logistical, and socioeconomic barriers. Home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (HPR) may offer a scalable, accessible alternative with comparable outcomes to conventional PR. The drawback of HPR is the lack of monitoring, which may be overcome by incorporating a telemonitoring program to improve adherence. Data on the effectiveness of HPR in ILD populations-especially in resource-limited settings-are scarce. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the impact of a 6-week home-based PR program on HRQoL and exercise capacity in patients with fibrotic
