ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06848608
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease, characterized by the formation of immune granulomas with various clinical symptoms depending on the involved organs, which can involve many organs and systems associated with emotional and physical consequences that affect the quality of life, whose cause is unknown, but usually affects the respiratory system, and occurs mostly in young and middle-aged adults. Lung involvement, seen in 95% of patients, causes limitation of lung capacity and decrease in inspiratory muscle strength, which are important factors that lead to an increase in dyspnea and a decrease in walking distance.
