Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Fibrosing interstitial lung diseases are characterized by loss of lung function, which leads to a decrease in quality of life and physical capacity. Several studies have shown an increase in quality of life and physical capacity after increasing physical activity in patients. There is evicence that yoga has a positive influence in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, but so far, studies examining the effect of yoga in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung diseases are missing.

Study aims are to determine the feasibilty of this study, and to determine the effects of yoga to patients' quality of life and physical capacity.

Twenty patients with a fibrosing interstitial lung disease will be recruited and randomly assigned to the intervention or control group. Several questionnaires regarding quality of life will be conducted. Furthermore, the 6 minutes walking test, a lung function test and a biomarker analysis will be conducted at baseline and follow-up. The intervention group will participate in a 12 week yoga class, whereas the controll group will not participate. Yoga classes will be offered to the control group after the study.

In addition, focus group interviews will be conducted at baseline and follow-up with the intervention group.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients with a fibrosing interstitial lung disease will be recruited. In total 20 patients will be recruited, 10 for the intervention group and 10 for the control group.

The Intervention group will participate in a 12 week yoga class with classes twice a week for about 1 hour. The control group will not participate in a yoga class.

At baseline all patients will conduct a 6 minutes walking test, a lung function test, several surveys to measure health related quaility of life (King's Brief Interstitial Lung Disease Questionnaire (K-BILD), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Interstitial Lung Disease Anxiety questionnaire), and some blood will be drawn for biomarker analysis.

Furthermore, participants in the Intervention group will participate in two focus group interviews, one at baseline and the second one at 12 week follow-up.
