Rehabilitation programmes in sarcoidosis: a multidisciplinary approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Patients with sarcoidosis suffer from a broad range of persistent symptoms, such as fatigue, dyspnoea and general weakness [1]. To date, specific nonpharmacological treatments to reduce the aforementioned symptoms are mostly lacking in the management of patients with sarcoidosis. Nevertheless, exercise training has shown to improve health status, exercise capacity, skeletal muscle function and complaints of fatigue and dyspnoea in patients with chronic pulmonary or cardiac diseases [2, 3]. The present chapter will provide a rationale for nonpharmacological treatments in patients with sarcoidosis with persistent clinical symptoms.
