Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • 6 Six Minute Walk Distance(6MWD)

    6MWD will be applied to evaluate the exercise capacity. The higher values indicate the better exercise capacity.

    Change from baseline 6MWD at week 13 and 26.

  • the 30 - second sit - to - stand test(30s STS)

    30s STS will be used to assess pulmonary function.

    Change from baseline FVC at week 13 and 26.

Secondary Outcomes (15)

  • The time of the first acute exacerbation

    Up to week 26.

  • Frequency of acute exacerbation

    Up to week 26.

  • Frequency of acute exacerbations resulting in hospitalization

    Up to week 26.

  • Frequency of acute exacerbations resulting in ICU admission

    Up to week 26.

  • Forced vital capacity (FVC)

    Change from baseline FVC at week 13 and 26.

  • +10 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Daoyin Technique in addition to the guideline - directed treatment.

EXPERIMENTAL

The experimental group was given Daoyin Technique in addition to the treatment guided by the guideline "Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (an Update) and Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis in Adults: An Official ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT Clinical Practice Guideline "

Behavioral: Daoyin Technique

Routine Comprehensive Training in addition to the guideline - directed treatment.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The experimental group was given routine Comprehensive Training in addition to the treatment guided by the guideline "Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (an Update) and Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis in Adults: An Official ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT Clinical Practice Guideline "

Behavioral: Routine Comprehensive Training

Interventions

On the basis of treatment guided by "Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (an Update) and Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis in Adults: An Official ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT Clinical Practice Guideline ", the experimental group was given Daoyin Technique for treatment. For patients who are able to complete the respiratory guidance technique. For patients who are unable to complete the respiratory guidance technique but have stable vital signs (referring to the "Expert Consensus on Respiratory Critical Care Rehabilitation Treatment Techniques in China"), the supine guidance technique is selected. It is carried out 5 days a week, 2 times a day, and each training session lasts for 30 minutes.

Daoyin Technique in addition to the guideline - directed treatment.

On the basis of treatment guided by I"Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (an Update) and Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis in Adults: An Official ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT Clinical Practice Guideline",the experimental group was given Routine Comprehensive Training. According to the patient's condition, select aerobic training (such as walking) or upper - limb and lower - limb resistance training (such as lifting, chest - expanding, foot - pedaling movements, etc.) combined with respiratory training (such as pursed - lip breathing, abdominal breathing, etc.). The heart rate should reach the target heart rate range and last for more than 10 minutes. This training is carried out 5 days a week, 2 times a day.

Routine Comprehensive Training in addition to the guideline - directed treatment.

  • Patients who have been participating in other clinical trials within 1 month before enrollment.
  • Patients who need long - term use of ventilators and those with unstable vital signs while bedridden.
