Online Yoga for Bronchiectasis, 70 Participants
ClinicalTrials.gov Studies
Summary
NIH ClinicalTrials.gov registered a new clinical study (NCT07540936) evaluating an eight-week online yoga program for adults with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. The randomized controlled trial enrolled 70 participants assigned to supervised online yoga sessions three times per week or usual care. The study assessed exercise capacity, dyspnea severity, respiratory function, and quality of life outcomes at baseline and week eight.
What changed
NIH ClinicalTrials.gov published a new clinical trial registry entry for NCT07540936, a randomized controlled study investigating the effects of an online yoga intervention on bronchiectasis patients. The trial enrolled 70 adults who were randomized to either a supervised online yoga program (three sessions per week for eight weeks) or a control group receiving usual care. Researchers measured outcomes including pulmonary function, six-minute walk test distance, dyspnea severity, and quality of life at baseline and week eight.
Healthcare providers and researchers monitoring the clinical evidence landscape should note this trial's focus on non-pharmacological symptom management for bronchiectasis. Study results may inform future evidence-based practice recommendations for complementary approaches in chronic respiratory disease management.

Effects of an Online Yoga Program on Exercise Capacity and Quality of Life in Bronchiectasis Patients
N/A NCT07540936 Kind: NA Apr 21, 2026
Abstract
Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung disease characterized by persistent cough, sputum production, shortness of breath, and recurrent infections, which can reduce physical capacity and quality of life. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as exercise-based approaches, are increasingly used to support symptom management in these patients.
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an eight-week online yoga program on exercise capacity, dyspnea severity, respiratory function, and quality of life in adults with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. A total of 70 participants were randomly assigned to either a yoga intervention group or a control group. The yoga group participated in supervised online sessions three times per week, including breathing exercises, postures, and relaxation techniques, while the control group received usual care without additional intervention.
Outcomes were assessed at baseline and after eight weeks using pulmonary function tests, the six-minute walk test (6MWT), the Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Dyspnea Scale, and the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). The study investigated whether yoga could provide a safe and effective complementary approach to improve symptoms and functional capacity in individuals with bronchiectasis.
