U.S., Aug. 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07131072) titled 'Assessment of Diaphragmatic Mobility in Dyspneic Patients With Different Types of Interstitial Lung Diseases' on Aug. 06.
Brief Summary: dyspnea and impaired exercise capacity in IPF patients can be related, at least in part, to respiratory muscle dysfunction, in particular to diaphragm functionality. Both B-mode and M-mode ultrasound techniques have been employed to assess diaphragm excursion, which measures the distance that the diaphragm is able to move during the respiratory cycle.
recent study using lung ultrasound in assessment of diaphragmatic mobility in IPF patients and found that Diaphragmatic mobility is lower in IPF pat...
