This clinical trial is focused on patients with Diffuse Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), a condition that affects the lungs and can cause difficulty in breathing. The study aims to explore whether using high-flow oxygen can improve oxygen levels during exercise, which is an important part of pulmonary rehabilitation for these patients. The treatment being studied involves two types of oxygen therapy: conventional oxygen therapy using a nasal cannula and high-flow oxygen systems. The main goal is to compare how well each method helps maintain oxygen levels during muscle training exercises.
Participants in the study will undergo a series of exercises as part of their rehabilitation program. During these exercises, their oxygen levels will be monitored to see which method provides better oxygenation. The study will also look at other aspects such as how breathlessness affects daily activities and exercise capacity, as well as overall quality of life. These will be assessed using various questionnaires and tests, including the 6-minute walk test, which measures how far a person can walk in six minutes.
The study will last for a period of time, during which participants will receive either the conventional or high-flow oxygen therapy. The results will help determine if high-flow oxygen can offer additional benefits over the standard method. This information could be valuable in improving treatment strategies for patients with ILD who experience oxygen desaturation, or low oxygen levels, during physical activity.
