About this study
Official title: Efficacy of Selected Osteopathic Manipulative Techniques as a Conjunctive Therapy for Patients With Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if osteopathic manipulative techniques add benefits for treatment of patients with progressive pulmonary fibrosis. The main questions it aims to answer are :
Could osteopathic manipulative techniques add benefits for treatment of patients with progressive pulmonary fibrosis? Researchers will compare osteopathic manipulative techniques with chest physiotherapy to chest physiotherapy alone to see if osteopathic manipulative techniques works to treat progressive pulmonary fibrosis.
Participants will:
Take osteopathic manipulative techniques 2 days a week for 4 weeks and chest physiotherapy 3 days a week for 4 weeks
